RIZAL TECHNOLOGICAL UNIVERSITY COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING AND INDUSTRIAL TECHNOLOGY BONI AVENUE, MANDALUYONG CITY JUNCTION DIODE CHARACTERISTICS AND TESTING BERNARDINO, JOHN EMMANUEL E. M / 7:30a-10:30a CEIT-04-401A PROF. ARUTA QUESTIONS: 1. If a diode exhibits a zero resistance between its two terminal in either direction, what conclusion can you make regarding the diode’s condition? * I therefore conclude that the diode is shorted. 2. If a diode exhibits and infinite resistance between its two terminals in either direction, what conclusion can you make regarding the diode’s condition? * I therefore conclude that the diode failed and in now an open circuit. 3. What is the breakdown voltage of 1N4001 Diode? * 50 VOLTS @ 25 °C 4. What will happen to 1N4001 Diode if a reverse voltage of 52 Volts is impressed across it? * Nothing should happen since 1N4001 is capable to sustain 100V in the reverse direction. 5. Explain the function of Rs in circuit number 1. * It is needed because the output or the voltage receiver is “open collector” which means you need a resistor to pull the output. 6. Explain the function of Rx in circuit number 1. * It serves as the source of the diode that can controls the flow of electric charge. Discussion: The Junction Diode The effect described in the previous tutorial is achieved without any external voltage being applied to the actual PN junction resulting in the junction being in a state of equilibrium. However, if we where to make electrical connections at the ends of both the N-type and the P-type materials and then connect them to a battery source, an additional energy source now exists to overcome the barrier resulting in free charges being able to cross the depletion region from one side to the other. The behavior of the PN junction with regards to the potential
