What is a p-n junction diode?
Think about its structure and operation in circuits.
What does a Zener diode do?
Recall its use in voltage regulation.
What is the primary function of a p-n junction diode?
Think about its role in rectifiers.
True or False: A Zener diode can only operate in forward bias.
Consider how it contrasts with standard diodes.
You have a circuit with a Zener diode designed to stabilize at 5V. If the input voltage surges to 10V, what happens in the circuit?
Think about the Zener's regulation capability.
Design a simple rectifier circuit using a p-n junction diode and explain its operation.
Consider how the diode responds to AC voltage cycles.
