• TRUE

• FALSE

The ____________  in the diode contains excess electrons

• P-TYPE

• N-TYPE

• DEPLETION REGION

The ____________ region at the P-N junction is the narrow space that is devoid of free electrons.

During the Forward Biasing, the resistance across the diode is __________.

• HIGH

• LOW

During the Reverse Biasing, the resistance across the diode is __________.

• HIGH

• LOW

During the Forward Biasing, the cathode of the diode is connected to _ terminal of the voltage source.

• +

• -

During the Reverse Biasing, the current can flow freely through the diode.

• TRUE

• FALSE

The maximum reverse-bias voltage that a diode can withstand without “breaking down” is called _________________.

Rectifiers are electrical device used to convert:

• DC to AC

• AC to half-wave AC

• AC to DC

• Wave line to straight line

With Bridge rectifier, the output current reverses with the input AC

• TRUE

• FALSE
