7 Questions
What is the electrical component described in the text?
Diode
What is the primary function of a diode?
Blocking current
Which statement best describes the behavior of a diode?
It has infinite resistance in one direction
What happens when a diode is reverse-biased?
It switches off completely
What happens to the current flow when a diode is forward-biased?
The current flow is unrestricted, similar to a straight wire.
How does the breakdown voltage of a diode affect its behavior in a circuit?
Higher breakdown voltage reduces the reverse-bias current.
In a reverse-biased diode, what is the primary reason for the minimal current flow?
The diode blocks the flow of majority carriers across the junction.
