What else can I help you with?
Pn diode in zero bias condition?
dormant semiconductor
What happens when diode is supplied with a voltage higher than RIV in reverse bias?
when diode is supplied with a voltage higher than RIV in reverse bias, the diode will burn out and will have zero resistance.
What are the two bias conditions for a diode?
The two bias conditions for a diode are forward and reverse
How is zener diode different from a conventional diode or ideal diode?
zener diode :zener diode operates under reverse bias voltageideal diode :ideal diode operates under forward bias voltage
Why diode conducts current in forward bias but does not conduct in reversed bias?
diode current flows only when the diode is forward biased because in reverse bias the barrier potential increases. Diode can conduct in reverse bias if applied votage is high enough to overcome the reverse bias barrier potential but it can be destructive.
What is a special quality of zener diode?
it can work in reverse bias unlike other diodes
Will a zener diode work the same as a germanium diode?
No. An ordinary diode, be it silicon or germanium, conducts in one direction only, whereas a zener diode conducts in both directions, but at different voltages. An ordinary diode is used to rectify, using its forward bias characteristics, while a zener diode is used to regulate, using its reverse bias characteristics.
How does a p-n junction diode work as a switch?
diode conducts in forward bias.so it is on switch. in reveres bias it will not conduct.so it is off switch
What does forward bias on a diode?
when the positive terminal of the battery is connected to the positive terminal of the diode it is said to be in forward bias
What type of bias causes a diode to conduct?
forward bias
How can you make a bypass diode?
the diode is forward bias ANSWER: A bypass diode is used to bypass circuitry as soon as the diode is forward bias by 0.6 volts The use it to bypass to prevent damage to the circuitry
Why is the current nearly zero at a voltage less than 0.4 v in a forward biased silicon diode?
The current is nearly zero at a voltage less than 0.4v in a forward biased silicon diode because of the small forward-bias voltage.
