TEST I. MODIFIED TRUE OR FALSE TEST

Write/type TRUE if the statement is true or FALSE if the statement is false. Also, whether your answer is
true or false, you must technically justify your answer in blue font color. You may also use image/s or
diagram/s to further elaborate your justification. One (1) point is equivalent for each correct/fully-justified
answer per item.

1. The two regions of a diode are the anode and the collector.
2. A diode can conduct current in two directions with equal ease.
3. A diode conducts current when forward-biased.
4. When reverse-biased, a diode ideally appears as a short.
5. Two types of current in a diode are electron and hole.
6. A basic half-wave rectifier consists of one diode.
7. The output frequency of a half-wave rectifier is twice the input frequency.
8. The diode in a half-wave rectifier conducts for half the input cycle.
9. PIV stands for positive inverse voltage.
10. Each diode in a full-wave rectifier conducts for the entire input cycle.
11. The output frequency of a full-wave rectifier is twice the input frequency.
12. A bridge rectifier uses four diodes.
13. In a bridge rectifier, two diodes conduct during each half cycle of the input.
14. The purpose of the capacitor filter in a rectifier is to convert ac to dc.
15. The output voltage of a filtered rectifier always has some ripple voltage.
16. A smaller filter capacitor reduces the ripple.
17. Line and load regulations are the same.
18. A diode limiter is also known as a clipper.
19. The purpose of a clamper is to remove a dc level from a waveform.
20. Voltage multipliers use diodes and capacitors.
21. Reverse breakdown voltage for a diode is typically greater than 50 V.
22. The practical model represents the diode as a switch in series with the barrier potential.
23. A dc power supply typically consists of a transformer, a diode rectifier, a filter, and a regulator.

TEST II. MODIFIED MULTIPLE-CHOICE TEST

Select the best answer (letter and what follows next) – make them bold and blue. Also, you must technically
justify your answer in blue font color. You may also use image/s or diagram/s to further elaborate your
justification. One (1) point is equivalent for each correct/fully-justified answer per item.

1. When a diode is forward-biased and the bias voltage is increased, the forward current will
(a) increase
(b) decrease
(c) not change

2. When a diode is forward-biased and the bias voltage is increased, the voltage across the diode (assuming
the practical model) will
(a) increase
(b) decrease

(c) not change

5. When a diode is forward-biased and the bias voltage is increased, the voltage across the diode (assuming
the complete model) will
(a) increase
(b) decrease
(c) not change

6. If the forward current in a diode is increased, the diode voltage (assuming the practical model) will
(a) increase
(b) decrease
(c) not change

7. If the forward current in a diode is decreased, the diode voltage (assuming the complete model) will
(a) increase
(b) decrease
(c) not change

8. If the barrier potential of a diode is exceeded, the forward current will

(a) increase
(b) decrease
(c) not change

9. If the input voltage is increased, the peak inverse voltage across the diode will
(a) increase
(b) decrease
(c) not change

10. If the frequency of the input voltage of the ideal diode circuit is increased, the output voltage will
(a) increase
(b) decrease
(c) not change

12. If the PIV rating of the diodes is increased, the current through RL will
(a) increase
(b) decrease
(c) not change
