Introduction to DiodesIntroduction to Diodes
A diode is an electrical deviceallowing current to movethrough it in one directionwith far greater ease than inthe other.
Most diodes are similar inappearance to a resistor andwill have a painted line onone end showing thedirection or flow (white side isnegative). If the negative sideis on the negative end of thecircuit, current will flow. If thenegative is on the positiveside of the circuit no current
will flow.

Diode biasingDiode biasing
A forward-biased diodeconducts current and drops asmall voltage across it,
leaving most of the batteryvoltage dropped across thelamp.
If the battery's polarity isreversed, the diode becomesreverse-biased, and drops allof the battery's voltageleaving none for the lamp

Reverse BiasReverse Bias
If no voltage applied is acrossa semiconductor diode, a thindepletion region existsaround the region of the P-Njunction, preventing currentflow.
If a reverse-biasing voltage isapplied across the P-N
junction, this depletion regionexpands, further resisting anycurrent through it

Forward BiasForward Bias
If a forward-biasing voltage isapplied across the P-Njunction, the depletion regioncollapses becoming thinner.The diode becomes lessresistive to current through it.
In order for a sustainedcurrent to go through the
diode; though, the depletionregion must be fully collapsedby the applied voltage. Thistakes a certain minimumvoltage to accomplish, calledthe forward voltage.

I-V characteristicsI-V characteristics
A reverse-biased diodeprevents current from goingthrough it, due to theexpanded depletion region. Inactuality, A very small
amount of current can anddoes go through a reverse-biased diode, called theleakage current, but it can beignored for most purposes.
The ability of a diode towithstand reverse-biasvoltages is limited, as it is forany insulator. If the appliedreverse-bias voltage becomestoo great, the diode willexperience a condition known

ReviewReview
1. A diode is an electrical component acting as a one-wayvalve for current. When voltage is applied across adiode in such a way that the diode allows current, thediode is said to be forward-biased.
2. When voltage is applied across a diode in such a waythat the diode prohibits current, the diode is said to bereverse-biased.
3. The voltage dropped across a conducting, forward-biased diode is called the forward voltage. Silicon
diodes have a forward voltage of approximately 0.7volts. Germanium diodes have a forward voltage ofapproximately 0.3 volts.
4. The maximum reverse-bias voltage that a diode canwithstand without breaking down

Introduction to transistorsIntroduction to transistors
A transistor is asemiconductor device,commonly used as anamplifier or an electricallycontrolled switch. The
transistor is the fundamentalbuilding block of the circuitrythat governs the operation ofcomputers, cellular phones,and all other modernelectronics
This section will be mainlyconcerned with the bipolarjunction transistor (BJT).Bipolar junction transistors aresimilar to junction diodes, butone more junction is included.

Transistor as a switchTransistor as a switch
Transistors can be used ascurrent-controlled switch. Thisis because, a relatively smallflow of electrons sent throughthe base of the transistor hasthe ability to exert controlover a much larger flow ofelectrons through thecollector.
Suppose we had a lamp thatwe wanted to turn on and offby means of a switch.
We need to add somethingmore so that we can havebase current.

Transistors may be used asswitching elements to controlDC power to a load.
The switched (controlled)current goes between emitterand collector, while thecontrolling current goesbetween emitter and base.
When a transistor has zerocurrent through it, it is said to
be in a state ofcutoff(fullynonconducting).
When a transistor hasmaximum current through it,it is said to be in a state of
saturation (fully conducting).

How does a transformerHow does a transformer
work?work?
A transformer is based on avery simple fact aboutelectricity: when a fluctuatingelectric current flows througha wire, it generates a
magnetic field (an invisiblepattern of magnetism) or"magnetic flux" all around it.
The strength of themagnetism (which has therather technical name ofmagnetic flux density) isdirectly related to the size ofthe electric current. So thebigger the current, the
stronger the magnetic field.

How does a transformerHow does a transformer
work?work?
Now there's anotherinteresting fact aboutelectricity too. When amagnetic field fluctuatesaround a piece of wire, it
generates an electric currentin the wire. So if we put asecond coil of wire next to thefirst one, and send afluctuating electric current
into the first coil, we willcreate an electric current inthe second wire.
Faraday's Law:
A changing magetic flux through a
loop of wire induces anelectromotive force (emf : voltage) and
push the current around the circuit.

How does a transformerHow does a transformer
work?work?
The current in the first coil isusually called the primarycurrent and the current in thesecond wire is (surprise,surprise) the secondary
current. What we've donehere is pass an electriccurrent through empty spacefrom one coil of wire toanother. This phenomenon is
called electromagneticinduction. We can makeelectrical energy pass moreefficiently from one coil to theother by wrapping them
around a soft iron bar(sometimes called a core):

Step-down transformerStep-down transformer
If the first coil has more turnsthat the second coil, thesecondary voltage is smallerthan the primary voltage:
This is called a step-downtransformer. If the second coilhas half as many turns as thefirst coil, the secondaryvoltage will be half the size ofthe primary voltage; if the
second coil has one tenth asmany turns, it has one tenththe voltage.

Step-up transformerStep-up transformer
Reversing the situation, wecan make a step-uptransformer that boosts a lowvoltage into a high one:
In a step-up transformer, weuse more turns in thesecondary than in theprimary to get a bigger
secondary voltage and asmaller secondary current.
V2/V1 = N2/N1
I2/I1 = N1/N2

Electronic devices such aslaptop computers andchargers for MP3 players andmobile phones use relativelytiny voltages:
a laptop needs about 15volts,
an iPod charger needs 12volts,
a cellphone typically needs
less than 6 volts when youcharge up its battery.
