Why diode conducts current in forward bias but does not conduct in reversed bias?
diode current flows only when the diode is forward biased because in reverse bias the barrier potential increases. Diode can conduct in reverse bias if applied votage is high enough to overcome the reverse bias barrier potential but it can be destructive.
What is Reverse Saturation Current of a diode?
When a diode is operated as reverse bias the current flow is almost completely blocked. A small amount of current is still able to travel in reverse through the diode and this is referred to as the reverse current saturation.
What is the importance of the reverse-to-forward resistance ratio of a diode?
to determine the comparison of resistance value of both forward and reverse diode . The more the resistance the lower the current , the lower the resistance the higher the current . When reverse bias , the resistance is high and it acts in open circuit and the reverse current is very small that can be neglected . When forward bias , the resistance is low and it acts as short circuit and the forward current is increasing as the voltage supply is higher .
Explain how a current flows in a semiconducting diode in the two states of biasing?
Let me answer as I've learned. In this case, if the voltage source for forward bias is greater than the voltage source for reverse bias, current will flow in this semiconductive diode. And another way may occur. That is, in case reverse bias voltage is as large as breakdown voltage, reverse breakdown current ,which is because of the minority carrier in p region, will flow and this current can be large to damage the diode. If there is any mistake in my answer, please correct me and I'll thank you for that.
What are the different types of biasing?
Fixed Bias,Self Bias, Forward Bias, Reverse Bias
Does diode flow current in reverse bias?
Diodes will have a small leakage current in reverse bias. In most cases, this current can be considered insignificant and ignored.
Reverse saturation current of Ge diode?
Reverse saturation current of germanium diodeThe current that exists under reverse bias conditions is called the reverse saturation current. Reverse saturation current of the germanium diode is typically 1 micro ampere or 10-6 a.At a fixed temperature, the reverse saturation current of a diode increases with increase in applied reverse bias. In reverse bias region the reverse saturation current also varies with the temperature.
What are the sources of reverse current in a diode?
doping concentration,temperature are the major source of reverse current
Why diode conducts current in forward bias but does not conduct in reversed bias?
diode current flows only when the diode is forward biased because in reverse bias the barrier potential increases. Diode can conduct in reverse bias if applied votage is high enough to overcome the reverse bias barrier potential but it can be destructive.
The primary control on drain current in a JFET is exerted by?
Gate reverse bias
Why do diode has two resistance values in ieone in forward bias other in reverse bias?
because the current push to the junction.
Forward bias and reverse bias?
forward bias is in the direction a junction or vacuum tube wants to conduct currentreverse bias is in the direction a junction or vacuum tube opposes conducting current
What devicesexploits the effect of temperature under the fixed reverse bias on current?
lm 35
Why current flows in reverse bias in special types of diodes?
due to minority carriers
Why high value resistor used in reverse bias diode circuit?
In a reverse bias condition of a circuit current initially remains the same for low voltage but at the breakdown voltage current increases fast even for a small increase in voltage.hence.........
What is Icbo in transistors?
Icbo (collector to base current when emitter is open) also called reverse saturation current as Is in reverse bias p-n junction diode.Regards
