What is it called when voltage is lost across a portion of a circuit?
This is often called a "voltage drop".
How do a schottky diode and ordinary pn junction differ in their operation?
The schottky diode is based on a metal-semiconductor junction, called a schottky barrier, that results in lower forward voltage and vastly decreased switching time. While an ordinary silicon diode has a forward voltage around 0.7 volts, with a germanium diode around 0.3 volts, the schottky can be as low as 0.15 volts. The switching time can be in the tens of picoseconds range, compared to hundreds of nanoseconds. The downside is limited reverse voltage rating and poor reverse voltage leakage, which increases with temperature, causing potential thermal runaway.
What is the process called in which a conductor cuts across a magnetic field and produces a voltage?
We call it induction when we pass a conductor through a magnetic field to produce voltage.
Why series resonance is called voltage resonance?
Series resonance isn't generally referred to as 'voltage resonance', but the expression probably comes from the fact that, at resonance, the voltage drop across the inductive component of a circuit is exactly equal to the voltage drop across the capacitive component of the circuit and, if the resistance of the resonant circuit is low in comparison with its reactance, then each of these voltage drops can be significantly higher than the supply voltage.
How do you change current into voltage?
Compute the open load voltage of the current source across its shunt resistance.This voltage becomes the voltage source's voltage.Move the current source's shunt resistance to the voltage source's series resistance.Insert the new voltage source into the original circuit in place of the current source.

When voltage changes from forward voltage to reverse voltage junction voltage cannot change?
A: THAT IS CORRECT a diode conducts only one way that is why it is called a semiconductor Reversing the voltage no current will flow until breakdown.
What is meant by 0.3 volts for germanium and 0.7 volts for silicon?
== When we make a semiconductor junction (a p-n junction), the electric fields force charges to shift creating what is called a depletion region. This depletion region forms a potential barrier across the junction. This potential barrier has a voltage associated with it, and that voltage is 0.3 volts (approximately) for germanium semiconductor material, and 0.7 volts (approximately) for silicon semiconductor. The terms we apply to this barrier potential are the built-in voltage (or potential), junction voltage (or potential), and contact potential. Use the link below to check facts and review some other closely related material.

What is thermal voltage?
In semiconductors, the relationship between the flow of electrical current and electrostatic potential across a p-n junction depends on a characteristic voltage called the thermal voltage, denoted VT.

What is another name for voltage?
Voltage can also be called "potential" and is measured across components or sections of a circuit.Answer'Voltage' is another word for 'potential difference', not'potential'!
What is a compensated semiconductor?
compensated semiconductor...SEMICONDUCTORS WHICH CONTAIN BOTH DONOR AND ACCEPTOR DOPANT ATOMS IN SAME REGION IS CALLED COMPENSATED SEMICONDUCTOR.
What are motherboard traces?
copper circuit paths called traces. it carries signals and voltage across the motherboard.
