Short time intervals, t = no. of divisions between two pulses time-base value. Examples 1. The diagram shows the trace on the screen of a CRO when an a.c voltage is connected to the Y-input. The Y-gain control is set at 2 V/div and the time base is off. Calculate the value of : (a) Peak-to-peak voltage, Vpp (b)Peak voltage, Vp. Solution:

The following figure shows structure and the symbol of a semiconductor diode :

What is the function of diodes?

Draw the symbol for a semiconductor diode.

How does the p-n junction diode work? Any further movement of _____________ across the boundary in the depletion layer will be repelled by the charges in the layer.

The layer of the negative charge in the p-type region will prevent the majority charge carriers from the __________ region(the electrons) from crossing the boundary. Similarly , the positive charge layer in the n-type region will prevent the majority charge carriers from the __________region(the holes) from crossing the boundary in the opposite direction.
