- Sketch i agains v to scale for the circuit. Assume 0.6 V for all diodes in the forward-bias region.arrow_forwardProblem # 4 In the circuit shown below. Determine the following a. Vs (at the secondary) b. Vout (across RL) c. Vrip (ripple votage) d. VpC e. PIV (Peak Inverse Voltage) 10:1 Dy 1ISV ms Ouiput RL 2.2 k2 D, 50 pF All diodes are IN4001. alleeearrow_forwardTrue or False. Please explain. thank you As the temperature increases, the forward voltage decreases in a silicon diode. Then, the graph of the forward bias region will shift to the left.arrow_forward
- Calculate the current flowing through the given circuit and the voltage value at the V0 ends. (Threshold voltage = 0.3V for Germanium diodes, Threshold voltage for silicon diodes = 0.6V)arrow_forwardCompared to an ideal PN diode, what are the different characteristics of a practical PN diode? Please list two different characteristics when the diode is reversed biased.arrow_forwardWhen a conventional Silicon diode is reversed-biased with a voltage high enough such that there is a very large current present, the voltage value this occurs at is referred to as the: a) Breakdown voltage b) Breakup voltage c) Hammer voltage d) Roller voltage O b O d O c a o o o oarrow_forward
