Question 1

Joining P-Type and N-Type material together creates a

Answer 1

Semiconductor diode

Question 2

What do diodes do

Answer 2

Allow current to flow in one direction

Question 3

P-Type material forms the

Answer 3

Anode

Question 4

N-Type material forms the

Answer 4

Cathode

Question 5

The international potential difference for silicon and germanium diodes are

Answer 5

Silicon 0.7v
Germanium 0.3v

Question 6

What position (forward bias or reverse bias) is the diode in when: the diode blocks any current flow

Answer 6

Reverse bias

Question 7

What position (forward bias or reverse bias) is the diode in when: current can flow though the diode

Answer 7

Forward Bias
(Remember: the applied voltage must be greater than the barrier [0.7v silicon diode] for current to flow)

Question 8

What are the 3 rating for rectifier diodes

Answer 8

-Forward current rating
-Forward voltage rating
-Peak inverse rating

Question 9

What is PIV (peak inverse rating)

Answer 9

The Mac value of reverse voltage that the diode is capable of safely blocking

Question 10

The parity for a Diode must be [Forward or reverse bias]

Answer 10

Forward Bias

Question 11

A diode placed in reverse bias makes current…

Answer 11

Not flow

Question 12

Ohm meter question

When measuring on forward bias, the diode should read?

Answer 12

Approx 600mV

Question 13

When the measuring in reverse bias, the meter will read?

Answer 13

OL (overload)
