the leakage current of silicon is less when compared with the leakage current of germanium.. hence scr's are made up of silicon than germanium.. hope tis one is useful to u all!- Vignesh.L(engineer, 1st year)

What is the advantages and disadvantages of varactor diode?
is basically an electrically controlled variable capacitor no moving parts need a monitored voltage source to hold the value temperature sensitive Si based dont work over 100C variable capacitors in the mechanical adjusted variety work with higher voltages arent voltage spike sensitive and are far more rugged are in picofarad to micro farad range can handle many kilowatts set and forget dont need controls to maintain capacitance arent temperature sensitive can be motor driven for electric control

Why Silicon is used widely as a semiconducting material?
AnswerSilicon is abundant in nature as SiO2(sand).Getting the Si from SiO2 is comparatively easier than other semiconductors like Ge.And Silicon is a better conductor at room temperature.valence electron in germanium are in fourth shell whereas on silicon valence electron is in third shell.germanium valence electron are at higher energy level than silicon .hence germanium valence electron will need smaller amount of energy to escape form the atom due to this germanium more number of electron pair than silicon . hence leakage current is more.this property makes germanium more unstable at high temperature.

What causes wiring to overheat from rectifier on 1982 Suzuki replaced rectifier did not help?
back in 1980s a suzuki tsb states to cut multi-conector from stator lead wiring,remove black covering from 3 wires,install 3 single wire connectors,object is to allow cooling of wiring, dont bundle wires, allow airspace around rectifier,wiring,to cool
How do Impressed Current anodes work?
i dont know use rectifier just invert ac to dc and supplied to anodes positive to steel negative
