If the potential across the junction is high enough, then it could cause it to conduct. This is with all diodes and is the forward voltage. If it is not high enough, it will just sit there and not conduct.

The amperage of the circuit increases and the voltage drop across the appliances will tend to increase.


What will happen in a circuit if the voltage does not change but the resistance in the circuit increases?

If the resistance increases, while the voltage stays the same, current will decrease. Current = voltage divided by resistance

What hapens to capacitance whe the voltage increases?

Capacitance is the ratio of charge to voltage, and is a constant. So, nothing will happen.

What will happen if a voltpage more than PIV rating of diode is applied across the diode?

peak inverse voltage :- it is the maximum voltage above which if applied the diode gets destroyed. Here destroyed in the sense the p-n junction gets destroyed due to breakdown voltage, it behaves like a straight conducting wire (which is of no use).


What is a maximum voltage across a resistor?

The voltage across the resistor is whatever voltage is applied. The only maximum here would be a voltage that would damage the resistor. If you think this might happen, you'll have to look up such a voltage from the data sheets.


What will happen to power delivered by solar cell do when resistance of he load is increased?

A: Nothing will happen if the load increases or even removed the voltage will go to the open voltage condition no harm.


What must happen to the voltage and resistance for the circuit to get cold?

For the circuit to get cold it must include a reversed junction thermocouple like in an electrical thermocooler.
