Why you use negative source in emitter biasing?

to get the base- emitter junction forward bias we should connect the negative of the diode with the negative of the battery and the positive of the diode with the positive of the diode so we should connect negative source in the emitter


Is the banded end of a diode positive or negative?

The Banded end of diode represents Cathode.If you want the diode to be forward biased then the Cathode is made more negative than Anode.For reverse biasing of Diode (Zener Diode) The Cathode is kept positive.However the mail carrier of current in the Cathode is Electrons which are negative.


What is meant by the threshold point of a diode?

it means the entrance point of a diode


Explain the working principal of diode with diagram?

A diode when forward biased will allow the flow of current while reverse biasing will cut off the flow of current. It is the basic building block of any semiconductor.


How can the bipolar junction transistor be used as a diode?

A: Yes it can but why ? This is frequently done when the diode is used for biasing purposes on another transistor and must be matched identically to the transistor's E-B junction characteristics. Thus 2 matched transistors are used with one just being used as a diode.


What is forward and reversed biasing?

This is a characteristics of semiconductor diode {pn junction}.In forward biasing here we connect p to positive terminal and n -ve terminal when external voltage is aplied in such a direction that cancels out potential barrier thus permitting current flow In reverse biasing the connection of pn junction is inverted but in this the potential barrier incresesand offers resistance to current flow but at a certain voltage current increases suddenly(the break down voltage)the zener diode works in this principle


Why resistor provides bias condition to the circuit?

A specified amount of current is allowed to flow through the diode. if the current passing through the diode exceeds the specific value, the diode gets heated and is likely to be damaged. therefore in a biasing circuit a resistance R has been applied , which limits the current passing through the diode within a specific value.


Which biasing is known to as universal biasing?

How biasing of FET differs from biasing of BJT?

in BJT forwardbiasing & reverse biasing are carried out but in FET voltage divider biasing &self biasing are carried out.
