What is meant by transistion and space charge capacitance of a diode?
Diffusion capacitance is the capacitance due to transport of charge carriers between two terminals of a device. - Amog This diffusion capacitance is due to depletion capacitance which is a function of forward bias applied to emitter junction of a transistor and due to diffusion capacitance which a function of transconductance of the transistor. Its value is 100 pF. Tirupanyam B.V
The bluk resistance of a diode depends on?
Bulk resistance of diode depends on how it is biased. The bulk resistance of a diode is the approximate resistance of the diode when it is forward biased.
How is a non-conducting diode biased?
A nonconducting diode is biased in the reversed direction (reverse polarization).
How much voltage is there across a germanium diode when it is forward biased?
About 0.2V
What is a device made of semiconductor material that acts like a switch controlling the flow of electrons in a chip?
if a diode is in forward biased the diode acts as switch is on and when we apply the diode in reverse biased then it work as the switch as off.
What is diffusion capacitance in pn junction?
A capacitor is a device that stores charge. Therefore any device that stores charges( static or dynamic) can be said to have capacitance. When a PN diode is forward biased, a current flows due to the majority charge carriers. At a particular instant there will be charges in motion. This is dynamic charge. The capacitance due to storage of dynamic charge is called the diffusion capacitance. We know that C = Q * V. That is capacitance is directly proportional to charge stored. Since the diode current increases exponentially with the voltage applied across it, the dynamic charge also increases exponentially . Hence the diffusion capacitance increases exponentially with the increasing diode voltage.
What happen of a a diode When forward-biased?
when a diode is forward biased it conducts current
Why transition capacitance called so?
Transition capacitance is the capacitance that is accumulated between two terminals as an electrical charge is carried between them. In a diode, this is the diffusion from anode to cathode of a diode in forward bias mode.

Zener diode with its forward biase?
acts like a normal diode in forward biased condition
In which configuration does a diode conduct?
Forward biased is the configuratiuon that a diode conducts.
How is a non-conducting diode biased?
A nonconducting diode is biased in the reversed direction (reverse polarization).
List the two conditions under which a diode is operated?
A diode is a semiconductor material which has p region and n region. In order to "turn on" and conduct current in the forward direction, a diode requires a certain amount of positive voltage to be applied across it. An ideal diode conducts only when the diode is forward biased, and then the voltage drop across the diode (Vd) is zero. When the ideal diode is reverse biased, no current flows. The two conditions to operate a diode are: (a) Current flow is permitted; the diode is forward biased. (b) Current flow is prohibited; the diode is reversed biased. When the polarity of the battery is such that current is allowed to flow through the diode, the diode is said to be forward-biased.
How much voltage is there across a silicon diode when it is forward biased?
0.7 The voltage across a silicon diode when it is forward biased should be greater than or equal (>=) 0.7volts.
How much voltage appears across a zener diode when it is forward-biased?
That depends on the zener voltage rating:"low voltage" zeners are just a simple single diode, the zener diode"high voltage" zeners contain 2 back to back diodes in one package, the zener diode and an ordinary diode that is reverse biased when the zener diode is forward biased to block forward conduction of the zener and protect it from overcurrent damage if installed backwards by mistakeThus in "low voltage" zeners when forward biased they will have a normal diode drop (e.g. 0.7V), but "high voltage" zeners when "forward biased" they will act open due to the reverse biased blocking/protection diode in series with the zener.
Is less than or greater than zero external voltage applied on diode when you deal with forward biased?
A forward-biased diode has a positive DC on its anode with respect to its cathode.
