A reverse and forward biased diode will act as an close and open switch respectively.

• TRUE

• FALSE

If the diode in a series circuit is forward biased, the resistor will drop all the applied voltage

• TRUE

• FALSE

The barrier potential is the small difference of potential created by positive and negative ions on either side of the depletion region.

• TRUE

• FALSE

A shockley diode can be used to provide voltage regulation in a power supply.

• TRUE

• FALSE

Doping semiconductive material is the process of putting a small amount of pentavalent or trivalent atoms in with tetravalent atoms.

• TRUE

• FALSE

A zener diode can be tested with an ohmmeter.

• TRUE

• FALSE

A zener diode has a larger breakdown voltage than a diode.

• TRUE

• FALSE

The positive lead of a diode is the anode.

• TRUE

• FALSE

The positive lead of a diode is the cathode.

• TRUE

• FALSE

Base currents are usually large because of the physical construction of the thin and lightly doped base.

• TRUE

• FALSE
