4 cards from this section. Quick, good the night before a test.
What is a P-N Junction Diode?
Think about how it’s formed.
What happens in forward bias?
Relate it to the direction of voltage.
What happens during forward bias in a P-N Junction Diode?
Remember the direction of current flow.
A P-N Junction Diode allows current in both directions.
What happens in reverse bias?
Design a simple circuit that uses a P-N Junction Diode to rectify an AC voltage source into a usable DC voltage for a small electronic device. Describe the components needed and how they are connected.
Think about the diode orientation in relation to the AC waveform.
Analyze what would happen if the breakdown voltage of a P-N Junction Diode is exceeded in a circuit application. Discuss the potential outcomes and safety measures.
Consider protection circuits used in practical applications.
