What is a device made of semiconductor material that acts like a switch controlling the flow of electrons in a chip?
if a diode is in forward biased the diode acts as switch is on and when we apply the diode in reverse biased then it work as the switch as off.
What is the purpose of a diodes in a circuit?
a diode in a ckt basically acts like a switch!! it acts like a switch in on position i.e a short when forward biased and acts like a open ckt or a swich in off position when it is reversed biased!! its used inanalog circuits to generate different types of waves.........
How does diode acts as a circuit element?
Allows 1 way current/voltage flow
Which semiconductor acts like a diode and two resistors?
uni junction transistor
When both junctions of npn diode are reverse biased?
When p-n junction of a diode reversed biased then majority carriers are not able to cross the junction and are attracted in respective regions.So current becomes approximately zero.But because of minority carriers a reverse current keeps flowing.It is called Reverse Saturation Current.And due to attraction towards sides,charges go away from junction.So width of depletion reason increases.
Does a zener diode acts as a switch?
A zener diode cannot be used as switch.
What is a device made of semiconductor material that acts like a switch controlling the flow of electrons in a chip?
if a diode is in forward biased the diode acts as switch is on and when we apply the diode in reverse biased then it work as the switch as off.
How does a PN junction diode acts as a switch?
A diode is voltage and current sensitive it follows an exponential curve and lower then .6v it is considered off and above .6v is considered on.
How does diode acts as a switch?
When the diode is reversed biased (positive charge applied to the N side and the negative charge applied to the P side) no current can flow just like when a switch is off. When the diode is forward biased (positive charge applied to the P side and the negative charge applied to the N side) no current can flow just like when a switch is on. Current can only flow in one direction.

How diode can be used as switch?
No, a diode can rectify an AC signal but is not able to amplify an AC signal. Diodes are two layer devices whereas transistors have three. It is this very thin 'base' region in the transistor that gives it the ability to give a voltage or current gain.
Zener diode with its forward biase?
acts like a normal diode in forward biased condition
When biased correctly a zener diode acts as?
a diode and it has a constant voltage across it ANSWER: acts as a voltage regulator if enough current flows to create a breakdown voltage.
Why it is not a npnp diode in place of pnpn diode?
I think there is no difference between PNPN diode and NPNP because if u look at the basic structure of this diode from anode side it is a PNPN diode and if u look at it from the cathode side it is a NPNP diode.......actually it is a four layer silicon device with two terminals...it consists of 3 junctions..it acts as a switch during forward bias condition..... i hope it's the correct one....if I am wrong please post the correct answer so that i can correct myself.....
How does PN-junction diode acts as a switch?
when a semiconductor is doped with p-type and n-type impurities, a pn junction is formed which acts as a diode and prevents the charge carriers to flow to either side of junctionpn juction diode is a semiconductor device that allows current to flow only to one direction.
Why do my Back up lights on a 1993 F-150 do not have power?
bad fuse , bad electrical connection to or bad switch ( back up light switch on manual transmission / neutral safety switch on automatic transmission also acts as backup light switch )
What is OA in OA79 diode?
In OA79, the letter A stands for rectifier diode and O stands for Germanium. It acts as a point contact germanium diode and also be replaced with 1N4148 depending on the circuit.
