When the peak output voltage is 100 V the PIV for each diode in a center-tapped full-wave rectifier is (neglecting the diode drop)?
In a center-tapped full-wave rectifier, the peak inverse voltage (PIV) for each diode is equal to the peak output voltage. Therefore, when the peak output voltage is 100 V, the PIV for each diode is also 100 V. This is because each diode must withstand the full peak voltage when it is reverse-biased. Thus, each diode in this configuration experiences a PIV of 100 V.
Why are silicon diodes not suited for low voltage rectifiers?
Silicon diodes ARE used in reverse bias. This is the mode in which they do not conduct, which is the principal role of a diode. When forward biased, a silicon diode will conduct but has a voltage drop of around 0.6v so is not useful for rectifying small voltages (unless used as a perfect diode with an op amp).
What will be the voltage drop when diode and resistance are used in series in a circuit?

When a diode reduces the input voltage?
When a diode reduces the input voltage, it typically operates in the forward bias condition, allowing current to flow while dropping a specific voltage across it, known as the forward voltage drop (usually around 0.7V for silicon diodes). This voltage drop occurs due to the energy required to overcome the potential barrier of the diode's p-n junction. As a result, the output voltage is lower than the input voltage by this forward voltage drop, effectively regulating the voltage in circuits like rectifiers or clamping applications. In reverse bias, a diode ideally blocks current flow, maintaining the input voltage level until breakdown occurs.
(what is the maximum voltage a cross an unbiased positive silicon diode limiter during the positive alteration of the input voltage)?
In an unbiased positive silicon diode limiter, the maximum voltage across the diode during the positive half-cycle of the input voltage is typically around 0.7 volts. This is due to the forward voltage drop of the silicon diode when it becomes conductive. The diode will start to conduct and limit the output voltage to this approximately 0.7V level, preventing higher voltages from passing through.
How does the cut in voltage effects the output of a diode clipper?
For answering this question we have to consider the constant voltage drop model of the diode which says that if voltage across diode is less then its cut in voltage than assume diode to be open circuit and if it is greater then assume diode to be short circuit.Till the input voltage is less than the cut in voltage, diode is open circuit(thus no current through the circuit). Thus entire input voltage appears across the diode as output.When input voltage is greater than or equal to cut in voltage, then short circuit the diode. Thus, there will be no voltage drop across the diode as output.Thus cut in voltage decides when to consider the diode open circuit and when short circuit. It decides when the diode will have output when it will not.

Does a full-wave bridge rectifier results in a full secondary volatge at the output?
No. The voltage at the output is the full secondary voltage minus two diode forward bias drops. Depending on current and the specifications of the diode, this total drop could be between 1.5 and 4 volts.
What is the voltage drop in diode IN4007?
forward drop is the same as any other silicon diode, about 0.7V
What value resistor and diode would you need to drop voltage from 12 volts ac to 1.2 volts dc?
I'm not sure you understand what you're asking. A diode will have a voltage drop of ~.5-.7 volts. If you put a diode and resistor in series, the voltage across the diode will be .5 - .7 volts, and the voltage drop across the resistor will be (supply voltage - diode voltage drop). If you are trying to rectify to DC, you need at the least a half wave rectifier (two diodes), and some system to remove the ripple. The rectifier simply chops the AC waveform, so for the part of the supply sine wave that is ~.5 or less, the output of the rectifier will be zero. The top part of the sign wave will show up on the output of the rectifier, but will be slightly smaller (due to the voltage drop across the diode). You'll need to get ride of this rippling for true DC. One fairly easy way to do this is to use a zener diode. It will attempt to keep the voltage drop across it the same, so purchase a 1.2 volt zener diode. The problem with this is the zener diode will saturate if you have too heavy a load. What I've done on simple projects is to use a zener diode to bias the base to collector voltage of a transistor, with the emitter acting as the output (an NPN BJT usually). I also used a fairly large capacitor to help minimize the ripple as well, although this may not be necessary for you.

Is forward voltage drop of schottky diode more than tunnel diode?
Yes, the forward voltage drop of a Schottky diode is usually more than the forward voltage drop of a tunnel diode. A Schottky diode voltage drop is between approximately 0.15 to 0.45 volt. The interesting thing that makes a tunnel diode different from other diodes is its "negative resistance region" with a "peak current" around 0.06 volt and a "valley current" around 0.30 volt.
(what is the maximum voltage a cross an unbiased positive silicon diode limiter during the positive alteration of the input voltage)?
In an unbiased positive silicon diode limiter, the maximum voltage across the diode during the positive half-cycle of the input voltage is typically around 0.7 volts.

The diode will start to conduct and limit the output voltage to this approximately 0.7V level, preventing higher voltages from passing through.
When a diode is properly forward biased what is the voltage drop across it equal to?
The forward biased voltage drop of a diode depends on the type of diode and the current through the diode. A typical silicon diode will exhibit a voltage drop between 0.6v and 1.4v depending on current. An LED might range from 2v to 3v. A germanium diode might go a low as 0.2v. Bottom line; it varies.
When a load is connected to the output voltage divider the output voltage will what?
When a load is connected to the output of a voltage divider, the output voltage will typically decrease due to the loading effect. This occurs because the load draws current, which can change the voltage across the resistors in the divider. The extent of the voltage drop depends on the resistance of the load relative to the resistors in the voltage divider. If the load resistance is significantly lower than the divider resistances, the output voltage will drop more noticeably.
