Forward bias and reverse bias observation knee voltage and breakdown voltage |

Answer» Explanation: A PN junction diode is a non-linear component and it consists of two JUNCTIONS NAMELY P-junction & N-junction where the MAJORITY and minority charge carriers are present like electrons and holes. It is also known as a semiconductor diode or PN junction diode. This diode includes two terminals namely anode and cathode, where a p-type semiconductor is an anode (positive voltage) and N-type SEMICONDUCTORS are cathode (negative voltage). The flow of current in the diode is in one direction only because it opposes in another direction with HIGH resistance. This article gives an overview of what is the knee voltage of a diode and its characteristics. What is Knee Voltage? In the forward characteristics of a diode once the voltage is applied then the junction starts increasing rapidly. It is known as knee voltage and an alternate name of this is cut in voltage. |
