Best Answer

conduction forward voltage is the voltage produced when a diode is connected in forward bias and potential is given across it . when a potential is given across a diode which is connected in forward bias due to repulsion force experinced by the majority charge carriers in p and n type the depletion region gets shrunkn very easily and thus conducton takes place due to the mobility of the charge carriers

What is the forward biased knee voltage for a 1n4001 silicon diode?

A; The 1N4xxx series of rectifier diodes are specified as 1 amp forward conduction. the last number signify the maxi mun reverse voltage it can sustain without breakdown.


What is the current of a circuit if the voltage is 10V with a 1.2K Resistor and a diode?

you should specify: - circuit topology, I assume a series connection. - diode allows current flow? It depends how it's connected - diode forward voltage drop value if diode is in forward conduction, you have VR=10V - VDIODE and, thus, I = VR/R=(10-Vdiode)/1200.


What is zener break down voltage?

The point in the forward operating region of the characteristic curve where conduction starts to increase rapidly is called Knee voltage of a PN Junction Diode.The breakdown voltage of a diode is the minimum reverse voltage to make the diode conduct in reverse.(or) Breakdown voltage is a parameter of a diode that defines the largest reverse voltage that can be applied without causing an exponential increase in the current in the diode.-- Dinakar


Are diode forward and zener voltages the same?

A: Both diodes have the same curve in the forward direction however if the zener voltage is reverse it will breakdown at a particular voltage and remain conducting at the voltage. A regular diode will not do that the to voltage will fold back after breakdown to any voltage


Cut in voltage?

The forward voltage at which the current through the junction starts increasing rapidly, is called the knee voltage or cut-in voltage.

Can you use CC configuration as an amplifier?

The Common Collector configuration amplifies current, by having the emitter voltage follow the base voltage, with an offset of the forward conduction voltage of about 0.7 volts, with a current gain of beta. (hFe)

What is conductance voltage?

conduction forward voltage is the voltage produced when a diode is connected in forward bias and potential is given across it . when a potential is given across a diode which is connected in forward bias due to repulsion force experinced by the majority charge carriers in p and n type the depletion region gets shrunkn very easily and thus conducton takes place due to the mobility of the charge carriers


Can you apply forward voltage when anode current fall to zero in scr?

No. Soon after its anode current falls to zero, the device is not is a state to block the forward voltage due to the presence of carriers in its four layers its still in conduction mode. Thus at first it takes some time to remove excess charge from the four layers. Thus just after its anode currents decays to zero it is unable to block the forward voltage.


How much voltage appears across a zener diode when it is forward-biased?

That depends on the zener voltage rating:"low voltage" zeners are just a simple single diode, the zener diode"high voltage" zeners contain 2 back to back diodes in one package, the zener diode and an ordinary diode that is reverse biased when the zener diode is forward biased to block forward conduction of the zener and protect it from overcurrent damage if installed backwards by mistakeThus in "low voltage" zeners when forward biased they will have a normal diode drop (e.g. 0.7V), but "high voltage" zeners when "forward biased" they will act open due to the reverse biased blocking/protection diode in series with the zener.

Which voltage is greater in thyristor whether forward breakover or reverse breakdown voltage?

One voltage is greater in thyristor whether forward breakover or reverse breakdown voltage. The greater of the two voltages in thyristor is forward breakover voltage.

Which voltage is greater in thyristor whether forward break over or reverse breakdown voltage?

It is stated that one of the voltage is greater in thyristor whether it be forward breakover or reverse breakdown voltage. It is also stated that the greater of the 2 voltages in thyristor is the forward breakover voltage.


What is forward current?

This is the current that flows under the application of a forward voltage. For eg. the dc forward current for an LED may be 30 mA when a forward voltage of 2.0V is applied.


What is the rule of conduction?

· Law of forward conduction: a theory that nerve impulses always travel from postsynaptic membrane of the dendrites to the terminal knob of the axon. The law of forward conduction prevails in nature, but the direction can be reversed under experimental laboratory conditions.
