4 cards from this section. Quick, good the night before a test.
Define p-type and n-type semiconductors.
Think about the type of impurities used in each.
What happens in a p-n junction diode under forward bias?
Consider how the connections to the terminals affect the flow.
What happens to the depletion region in a p-n junction diode when forward bias is applied?
Think about the effects of connecting terminals.
Under which biasing condition does a p-n junction diode conduct significant current?
Recall the definition of biasing conditions.
A silicon p-n junction diode is forward biased at 0.6 V with a peak current of 1A. Discuss the diode's behavior as the voltage approaches 0.7 V. What implications does this have in circuit design?
Examine how the diode will behave near its cut-in voltage.
Explain the significance of reverse bias in preventing current flow in sensitive applications such as protectors and rectifiers.
Think about the safety aspects of reverse bias in an electronic circuit.
