Chapter 58, Problem 1RQ

How is a zener diode connected in a circuit as compared to a common junction diode?

Expert Solution & Answer
Check Mark
To determine

The way in which the zener diode is connected in the circuit as compared to the junction diode.

Explanation of Solution

The PN junction is commonly known as the diode. The diode the electronic device that acts as a swtich and conducts in one direction only.

To forward bias the diode the P terminal is connected to the ANODE and the N type is connected to the cathode. Reverse of this is done to reverse bias the diode.

The symbol for the diode is shown below.

Industrial Motor Control, Chapter 58, Problem 1RQ

The diode operates like a swtich, when the diode is forward biased the current flows through it in one direction only that is from P terminal to N terminal. To reverse the diode the cathode is connected to P and anode to N, for ideal condition the diode do not conduct in reverse but there is a small amount of current through it that is called the leakage current.

The zener diode is the diode that can operate in the reverse biased and the region of operation in that case is called the zener region. The diode conducts when the diodes breaks down in the reverse direction known as avalanche.

Therefore, the zener diode is connected in the circuit in reverse polarity as compared to common junction diode.

The lower jaw AB [Purple 1] and the upper jaw-handle AD [Yellow 2] exert vertical clamping forces on the object at R. The hand squeezes the upper jaw-handle AD [2] and the lower handle BC [Orane 4] with forces F. (Member CD [Red 3] acts as if it is pinned at D, but, in a real vise-grips, its position is actually adjustable.) The clamping force, R, depends on the geometry and on the squeezing force F applied to the handles. Determine the proportionality between the clamping force, R, and the squeezing force F for the dimensions given. d3 d4 R 1 B d1 2 d2 D... d5 F 4 F Values for dimensions on the figure are given in the following table.
