Question
What does it mean for an object to be positively and negatively charged?
✓
Answer
Compared to the normal state, the lack of electrons in an object shows that it is positively charged and the excess of electrons shows that it is negatively charged.

When a semiconducting material is doped with an impurity, new acceptor levels are created. In a particular thermal collision, a valence electron receives an energy equal to 2kT and just reaches one of the acceptor levels. Assuming that the energy of the electron was at the top edge of the valence band and that the temperature T is equal to 300K, find the energy of the acceptor levels above the valence band.
