by Tarun Agarwal 3 weeks agoWhat is Peak Inverse Voltage & Its WorkingWe know that there are different types of materials that carry electricity namely Cu, Al, Ge, Si, etc. These materials are called semiconductors which are used in several electronic devices. These semiconductor materials are good conductors...
by Tarun Agarwal 1 year agoWhat is Diode Approximation : Types and Diode ModelsDiodes are mainly unidirectional devices. It offers low resistance when a forward or positive voltage is applied and has high resistance when the diode is reverse biased. An ideal diode has zero forward resistance and zero voltage drop....
by Tarun Agarwal 1 year agoWhat is a Power Diode – Construction, Types & Its ApplicationsThe diode is a simple semiconductor device that includes two layers, two terminals & a single junction. The junction of normal diodes can be formed through semiconductors like p-type and n-type. The terminal at p-type is known as anode...
by Tarun Agarwal 1 year agoWhat are Drift Current and Diffusion Current : Their DifferencesIn a semiconductor, the majority and minority charge carriers will exit in p-type or n-type. Because both the types of semiconductors will present over a single crystal at the center so that PN-junction can be formed. When the doping of...
