Option C. modulation. - Correct Answer Correct Answer is. rectification. Explanation. Germanium diode has the least forward bias voltage drop and is best for rectification. Question Number. 3. Why is a diode put in parallel with an LED?. Option A. To protect it from AC. Option B. So it will work only above a certain voltage. Option C. So it will work only below a certain voltage. - Correct Answer Correct Answer is. To protect it from AC. Explanation. An LED has a high forward bias voltage drop but is easily damaged when reverse biased. AC is therefore not good for an LED. Question Number. 4. When testing the forward bias of a diode with a multimeter. Option A. the positive lead of the ohmmeter is placed on the anode. Option B. it does not matter which terminal the positive lead of the ohmeter is placed. Option C. the positive lead of the ohmmeter is placed on the cathode. - Correct Answer Correct Answer is. the positive lead of the ohmmeter is placed on the anode. Explanation. To test forward bias, the positive lead of the multimeter must be placed on the anode. Note: If the question says 'moving coil meter' then it would be the negative lead on the anode, since the negative side of the battery in such a meter is connected to the + lead.

Option C. a Schottky diode. - Correct Answer Correct Answer is. an SCR. Explanation. NIL. Question Number. 6. Which of the following describes the characteristics of a Thyristor?. Option A. High voltage handling. Option B. High power handling. Option C. High current handling. - Correct Answer Correct Answer is. High current handling. Explanation. A thyristor (such as an SCR) is a high current switching. Question Number. 7. Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs). Option A. emit light of only one wavelength dependent on type. Option B. have very wide viewing angles. Option C. are easily damaged if forward biased b more than 5V. - Correct Answer Correct Answer is. emit light of only one wavelength dependent on type. Explanation. NIL. Question Number. 8. In a semiconductor junction diode, electrons are the minority carriers. Option A. within the P region. Option B. within the N region. Option C. in both the N and P regions. - Correct Answer Correct Answer is. within the P region. Explanation. NIL. Question Number. 9. A silicon diode, when compared to a germanium diode has. Option A. a higher forward bias voltage. Option B. the same forward bias voltage. Option C. less forward bias voltage. - Correct Answer Correct Answer is. a higher forward bias voltage. Explanation. Si = 0.6V, Ge = 0.2V. Aircraft Electricity and Electronics 5th Edition Eismin Page 111. Question Number. 10. This symbol is. Option A. a transistor. Option B. a diode. Option C. a triac. - Correct Answer Correct Answer is. a diode. Explanation. NIL. Question Number. 11. This symbol is. Option A. a photodiode. Option B. a laser diode. Option C. an LED. - Correct Answer Correct Answer is. a photodiode. Explanation. The photodiode is used in reverse bias. The minority current increases when light shines on it. Question Number. 12. A zener diode. Option A. allows current to flow in one direction.
