Test: Power Diode - Question 3

Power diode is __________

Detailed Solution for Test: Power Diode - Question 3

It has two terminals anode and cathode same as that of a ordinary diode. In fact, a power diode is nothing but a signal diode with a extra layer.

Test: Power Diode - Question 4

The V-I Characteristics of the diode lie in the

Detailed Solution for Test: Power Diode - Question 4

First in the forward region & Third in the reverse biased mode.

Test: Power Diode - Question 5

 Which of the following is true in case of a power diode with R load?

Detailed Solution for Test: Power Diode - Question 5

R load therefore V and I are linear and in phase.

Test: Power Diode - Question 6

A diode is said to be reversed biased when the

Detailed Solution for Test: Power Diode - Question 6

 K is positive w.r.t the A when the device is reversed biased.

Test: Power Diode - Question 7

A diode is said to be forward biased when the

Detailed Solution for Test: Power Diode - Question 7

A is positive w.r.t the K when the device is forward biased.

Test: Power Diode - Question 8

 In case of an ideal power diode, the leakage current flows from

Detailed Solution for Test: Power Diode - Question 8

 Leakage current does not flow in IDEAL diode.

Test: Power Diode - Question 9

The peak inverse current IP for a power diode is given by the expression

Detailed Solution for Test: Power Diode - Question 9

The leakage current is the reveres recovery time (t) into the rate of change of current.

Test: Power Diode - Question 10

A power diode with small softness factor (S-factor) has

Detailed Solution for Test: Power Diode - Question 10

Peak reverse current is independent of S-factor smaller the value of S-factor larger the oscillatory over voltage.

Test: Power Diode - Question 11

If V & I are the forward voltage & current respectively, then the power loss across the diode would be

Detailed Solution for Test: Power Diode - Question 11

Simply power (P) is voltage into current i.e. VI

Test: Power Diode - Question 12

 The power loss in which of the following cases would be the maximum?

Detailed Solution for Test: Power Diode - Question 12

P=VI Hence, it would be maximum when both V and I are maximum.

Test: Power Diode - Question 13

Even after the forward current reduces to zero value, a practical diode continues to conduct in the reverse direction for a while due to the

Detailed Solution for Test: Power Diode - Question 13

Due to the stored charges during the earlier current flow, even when the current reduces to zero due to some structural properties of the device, the device takes time to sweep out the stored charges.

Test: Power Diode - Question 14

For a p-n junction diode, the peak inverse current & the reverse recovery time are dependent on

Detailed Solution for Test: Power Diode - Question 14

It only depends upon the number stored charges which depends upon the rate of change of current.

Test: Power Diode - Question 15

In an AC-DC converter, a diode might be used as a

Detailed Solution for Test: Power Diode - Question 15

 In converters diodes are used to feed the energy back to the load in case of an inductive load.

Test: Power Diode - Question 16

When the p-n junction diode is forward biased, the width of the depletion region __________

Detailed Solution for Test: Power Diode - Question 16

 When forward biased depletion layer decreases & finally it collapses to allow the current flow.

Test: Power Diode - Question 17

When the p-n junction diode is reversed biased, the width of the depletion region __________

Detailed Solution for Test: Power Diode - Question 17

When reverse biased depletion layer increases until the breakdown value is reached.

Test: Power Diode - Question 18

 In case of a practical p-n junction diode, the rise in the junction temperature ___________

Detailed Solution for Test: Power Diode - Question 18

The rise in temperature excites the charges, which go & recombine with the charges in the depletion region decreasing its width. Higher the temperature, lesser is the E.M.F required to turn on the device.

Test: Power Diode - Question 19

 In the equilibrium state, the barrier potential across a unbiased silicon diode is _________

Detailed Solution for Test: Power Diode - Question 19

Barrier potential is due to the charges that establish an electric field across the two junctions.
