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.

What is meant by transition and space charge capacitance of a diode?
space charge region in a diode or say a bjt for better understanding is same as the depletion region, both transition capacitance and depletion capacitance are the same c= (epsilon*A)/d ; where ... c is capacitance A is area and d is the depletion width the other type of capacitance is the diffusion capacitance c= (T*I)/(n*V) where ... c is the capacitance T is transition ti me I is the drift current n is emission coefficient ... its value is 1 for germanium and V is thermal voltage .. 26mv
What is the type of capacitance effect exhibited in P-N junction when it is reverse biased?
1. Transition capacitance 2. Diffusion capacitance 3. Space charge capacitance 4. Drift capacitance
Are junction capacitance and transition capacitance the same?
Junction capacitance is used to take the ripple out of DC circuits primarily. The other is used in voltage doublers or step ups as a storage.
What is the difference between capacitance and stray capacitance?
Capacitance is an ability to store an electric charge. "If we consider two same conductors as capacitor,the capacitance will be small even the conductors are close together for long time." this effect is called Stray Capacitance.
What is the opposite of capacitance?
The reciprocal of capacitance is called electrical elastance, the (non-standard, non-SI) unit of which is the daraf.
What is the difference between diffusion capacitance and transition capacitance?
Transition capacitance : A reverse biased PN-junction has a region of high resistivity (depletion layer) sandwiched in between two regions of relatively low resistivity. The P-N regions act as the plates of a capacitor and the depletion layer acts as the dielectric This is known as the transition capacitance or depletion capacitance. Diffusion capacitance : It is the capacitance due to transport of charge carriers between two terminals of a device like the forward biased PN junction. In a semiconductor device with a current flowing through it (for example, an ongoing transport of charge by diffusion) at a particular moment there is necessarily some charge in the process of transit through the device. If the applied voltage changes to a different value and the current changes to a different value, a different amount of charge will be in transit in the new circumstances. The change in the amount of transiting charge divided by the change in the voltage causing it is the diffusion capacitance. The adjective "diffusion" is used because the original use of this term was for junction http://www.answers.com/topic/diode, where the charge transport was via the diffusion mechanism.
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 elements are not transition elements?
So-called NON-transition metals is not a defined group of elements, other than "All other elements that are NOT transition elements".
Why d and f block aliments called transition elements?
Transition elements may be defined as those elements which have partialy filled d and f subshells in atomic state so d and f block elements called transition elements.
Definition of a capacitance in mosfet?
Capacitance in mosfet is of three types: gate capacitance diffusion capacitance routing capacitance Gate capacitance: limits the speed of the device t which it can be operated Diffusion capacitance: It is the capacitance due to charge carriers between drain and source. Routing capacitance: It is the capacitance of the metal which is deposited on the top of oxide layer.
The elements that are characterized by the presence of an incomplete d sublevel are called?
Those elements are called transition elements
The transition to non-communist rule in Czechoslovakia was so smooth it was called the what revolution?
It was so smooth that it was called "The Velvet Revolution"Hope this helped! =P
