‘ON’ state of a diode is achieved when the positive point is applied to the anode and negative point is applied to the cathode or you can say that the ‘ON’ state of a diode has current is in the direction of the arrowhead. This procedure is known as ‘Forward biasing’. Similarly...
During ‘ON’ state, the practicaldiodeoffers a resistance called as the ‘Forward resistance’. The diode requires a forward bias voltage to switch to the ‘ON’ condition which is called Cut-in-voltage. The diode starts conducting in reverse biased mode when the reverse bias voltage exceeds ...
Additional types include varactor diodes with a parallel cathode line for voltage-controlled capacitance, photodiodes with inward-pointing arrows for light sensitivity, and tunnel diodes with a center rectangle indicating negative resistance characteristics.Specialized types like PIN, avalanche, and Gunn ...
Heat sinks are generally made of metals; and, aluminum is the most common metal used in heat sink.We are aware of the fact that the thermal conductivity of each metal is different.The thermal conductivity of metal is proportional to the heat transfer in heat sink. Thus, if the thermal con...
diode is said to be in forward bias when the positive terminal of the battery is connected to the anode and the negative terminal of the battery is connected to the cathode. The forward bias arrangement makes the ideal diode behave like ashort-circuit(closed switch) with zero resistance. ...
