The semiconductor Signal Diode is a small non-linear semiconductor devices generally used in electronic circuits, where small currents or high frequencies are involved such as in radio,
In the previous tutorials we saw that a semiconductor signal diode will only conduct current in one direction from its anode to its cathode (forward
However, unlike a resistor, a diode does not behave linearly with respect to the applied voltage as it has an exponential I-V relationship and therefore
In the previous tutorial we saw how to make an N-type semiconductor material by doping a silicon atom with small amounts of Antimony and also
The effect described in the previous tutorial is achieved without any external voltage being applied to the actual PN junction resulting in the junction being
Electrical Energy is the ability of an electrical circuit to produce work by creating an action. This action can take many forms, such as thermal, electromagnetic,
Voltage Divider Circuits are useful in providing different voltage levels from a common supply voltage. This common supply can be a single supply either positive or
Current Divider Circuits are parallel circuits in which the source or supply current divides into a number of parallel paths. In a parallel connected circuit, all
Gustav Kirchhoff’s Voltage Law is the second of his fundamental laws we can use for circuit analysis. His voltage law states that for a closed loop
To determine the amount or magnitude of the electrical current flowing around an electrical or electronic circuit, we need to use certain laws or rules
As its name implies, a current source is a circuit element that maintains a constant current flow regardless of the voltage developed across its terminals as this
