17)   Absorption and transfer of heat in surrounding air for stud-mounted diodes occur by the mechanisms of ____________

a. Conduction & Convection
b. Convection & Radiation
c. Conduction & Radiation
d. Conduction, Convection & Radiation
Answer  Explanation  Related Ques

ANSWER: Convection & Radiation

Explanation:
Generally, soldering is the process adopted for mounting the low and high medium current diodes. These diodes generate very less quantity of heat. But, stud- mounted diodes produce maximum amount of heat for which air convection is insufficient.

Therefore, necessity of heat sink arises which plays a cardinal role in absorbing and then transferring it to the surrounding medium by means of convection as well as radiation due to availability of maximum surface area.


18)   The value of leakage current is mainly dependent on

a. Temperature
b. Degree of doping
c. Physical size of junction
d. All of the above
Answer  Explanation  Related Ques

ANSWER: All of the above

Explanation:
Leakage current is generated when reverse current rises to its maximum value in reverse-biased configuration of PN junction diode. This leakage current is independent of the applied reverse voltage.

Leakage current is affected to greater extent by the parameters of temperature, doping level and the physical size of junction. Sharp and sudden rise in leakage current can be observed in reverse bias characteristics due to excess of breakdown voltage, where the curve represents zero resistance at this point.


19)   Which resistance is offered by the diode in forward direction above the barrier voltage?

a. Bulk Resistance
b. Junction Resistance
c. Dynamic Resistance
d. Reverse DC Resistance
Answer  Explanation  Related Ques

ANSWER: Bulk Resistance

Explanation:
Bulk resistance is the sum of resistance values of P & N type semiconductor materials. Because of its minute value, bulk resistance can also be expressed as,
rB = ( VF - VB ) / IF

When the value of current is very large, the diode offers the resistance above the barrier voltage in forward direction.

On the contrary, junction resistance solely depends on the magnitude of forward DC current & hence ultimately known as 'Variable Resistance'. Dynamic resistance is almost equal to junction resistance for negligible values of rB and IF. Apart from these, reverse DC resistance is offered in case of reverse voltage corresponding to reverse current absolutely in reverse direction.

(a) an ideal diode and
