Quiz 1 Flashcards
Negative on N material - Positive on P material
Forward Bias
What is the ripple frequency of (DC variations) from a half wave power supply
60Hz.
A) Conduct in either direction
B) This material typically has one valence electron
Conductors
A) An instalator-no current current carriers present
B) This material has 4 valence electrons but acts as if it had 8 to covalent bonding.
Pure silicon crystal
What is the Voltage drop across a diode that is reversed biased
All of the supply
Material that has vacancies in the valence bands
P-Type of Material
What is the ripple frequency of (DC variations) from a full wave power supply
120 Hz.
A) this material typically has 8 valence electrons
B) Will not conduct in either direction
Insulators
Conduct in either direction
Resistors
What is the Voltage drop across a diode that is conducting
.7 Voats
An insulator-no current carriers present
Depletion Area
Material that has free electrons outside of the crystal structure
N-Type Material
Negative on P material- Positive of N material
Reverse Bias
A)Prevents further recombination
B) .7 Vlots
Barrier Potential :The natural difference of potential that exists across a on junction.
Barrier Potential
Recombination
A term to used to describe the process of a free electron giving up its energy and returning to a valence band orbit.
