The depletion layer in p-n junction region is caused by

The collector supply voltage is 6 V and a voltage drop across a resistor of $600 \Omega$ in the collector circuit is 0.6 V , in a circuit of transistor connected in common emitter mode. If the current gain is 20 then the base current is

A zener diode, having breakdown voltage 15 V is used in a voltage regulator circuit as shown. The current through the zener diode is

A semiconductor device X is connected in series with a battery and a resistor. The current of 10 mA is found to pass through the circuit. If the terminals of X are connected in reverse manner, the current drops to almost zero. X may be
