◉ diode voltage drop
Answer: What does diode test mode on a DMM actually test?
◉ silicon
Answer: When mounting diodes to a heat sink, what type of grease is
normally applied to help the conduction of heat?
◉ derating
Answer: the act of operating a diode at less than maximum
operating current
◉ heat sink
Answer: What should be used when a diode is operated at or close to
its maximum current rating?
, ◉ series
Answer: In what type of connection will a diode be able to prevent
electrons from entering another component?
◉ parallel
Answer: In what type of connection will a diode serve to bypass
potentially damaging currents
◉ rectifier, clipping circuit, clamping circuit
Answer: what are three applications of a diode?
◉ Rectification
Answer: The changing of AC to DC
◉ pulsating dc
Answer: electrical signal that travels in only one direction 50% of
the time
◉ half wave rectifier
Answer: circuit that contains an AC source, load resistor, and a diode
which permits only the positive half cycles of the AC sine wave to
pass, creating pulsating DC
