The diode characteristics are placed on the same set of axes as a straight line defined by the parameters of the network.
The diode characteristics are placed on the same set of axes as a straight line defined by the parameters of the network.
True
The straight line is called a load line because the intersection on the vertical axis is defined by the applied voltage V.
The straight line is called a load line because the intersection on the vertical axis is defined by the applied voltage V.
False
Changing the level of V (the voltage) and the intersection on the vertical axis will change the slope of the load line.
Changing the level of V (the voltage) and the intersection on the vertical axis will change the slope of the load line.
False
The point of intersection between the load line and the device characteristics is called the quiescent point.
