Electronic Devices & Circuits Practice Quiz 3

What capacitance is significant when the diode is forward biased?

A diode that is especially designed to operate as a voltage-variable capacitor. It utilizes the junction capacitance of a semiconductor diode.

With increase is reverse bias voltage transition capacitance

In a LED light is emitted due to

The efficiency of LED is increased when ______.

Photo-diode works on the principle of______.

The effect obtain when the electric field across a semiconductor is strong enough which causes the free electrons to collide with valence electrons, thereby releasing more electrons and a cumulative multiplication of charge carriers occur.

A negative resistance diode commonly used in microwave oscillators and detectors, it is sometimes used as amplifiers. This device is also known as Esaki diode.

In a reverse-biased pn junction, the sudden large increase in current that occurs when a particular value of reversed voltage is reached due to ionization by the high intensity electric field in the depletion region. This effect is known as,
