Semiconductors, Diodes, Transistors, and Magnetic Properties
Semiconductors
Semiconductors are neither conductors nor insulators. At room temperature, they are poor conductors but can conduct electricity with external power. Examples include silicon and germanium.
Doping
To improve conductivity, semiconductors undergo a process called doping. There are two types:
- P-Type: Dopants create “holes” where electrons are missing. Examples: Aluminum, boron, and gallium.
- N-Type: Dopants add extra electrons.

Computer Peripherals, Interfaces, and Technologies
1. Definition and Types of Peripherals
Peripherals are devices through which a computer communicates with the outside world. They also serve as storage systems, acting as auxiliary memory. Peripherals facilitate input/output (I/O) operations, complementing the CPU’s processing. They are classified into five main categories:
- Input Peripherals: Capture and send data to the computer for processing.
- Output Peripherals: Display or project information from the computer. These devices convert electrical impulses

Introduction to Electricity
Electricity is the movement of electrons through a conductor, such as a wire. This movement requires an energy source, like a generator.
Types of Current
Direct Current (DC)
In direct current, electrons flow continuously in one direction, from the negative to the positive terminal of a power source. Examples include batteries and flashlights.
Alternating Current (AC)
In alternating current, the flow of electrons changes direction periodically. This is the

Network Topologies
Mesh Topology
Definition: Each device has a dedicated point-to-point connection to every other device.
Advantages:
- High redundancy: If one device fails, the network continues to function.
- No data collisions.
- High security.
Disadvantages:
- Expensive and complex to deploy.
Bus Topology
Definition: All devices connect to a single cable (the bus).
Advantages:
- Easy installation and deployment.
Disadvantages:
- Data collisions can occur.
- Difficult error detection.
- Vulnerable to intrusion.
Ring Topology
Definition:
