What else can I help you with?
Is a diode useful after breakdown?
Yes diode is useful after break down because it flows current from one direction to other direction
Why doesn't zener diode have negative resistance?
because of its high break down voltage.
Does the material of the diode depends on break down voltage?
A Germanium diode has a much lower breakdown voltage than a silicone diode.
What do you mean by peak reverse voltage of semiconductor diode?
Peak reverse voltage of a diode is the maximum reverse bias voltage can be applied to diode which does not cause break down.
A zener diode operates in?
In a reverse bias higher than the break down voltage.
Effect of putting a leaked diode in a circuit?
The effect is quite simple, to be honest. When putting a leaked diode in a circuit, it will cause the other ones to break down.
What is the break down voltage point for a zenerdiode?
The breakdown voltage point for a Zener diode is 17 volts
Does the dynamic impedence of a zener diode vary?
A: Yes it does since the break down is not exactly very linear.
What are the difference between Ge and Si diode?
the energy required to break covalent bond in si is 1.1ev and in ge is 0.7ev
When a 3.3 V zener diode is parallel with a 7 V zener diode what is the break down voltage?
Since they are in parallel, the 3.3V zener diode will "kick in" first when you reach 3.3V, and the circuit will pretty much act the same as if the 7V zener diode isn't there at all.
What is a thyrector diode?
A Thyrector is essentially two zener diodes connected back-to-back in opposing polarity which means it will not conduct until an over-voltage above its break-down voltage rating occurs. This is used to trap voltage spikes and suppress them.
How does a diode produce light?
When light falls on the junction of a pn junction/diode the potential barrier gets break down due to majorty of electrons flow and they release energy in the form of light.
