Assuming V1 is the anode and v2 the cathode (Anode is P region and Cathode is N)

Answer:

a) Reverse bias

b) Forward bias

c) Forward bias

Explanation:

Forward bias: It happens whenever the N region of the diode is more positive than the P region. Hence, the depletion zone increase ceasing the current through the circuit -> V1 -V2 < 0  

Reverse bias: It happens whenever the P region of the diode is more positive than the N region. In this case, the depletion zone begins to shrink, if enough voltage is applied current could go through the circuit -> V1 - V2 > 0

a) V = V1 - V2 = 0 - 2 = -2 -> -2 is smaller than zero therefore, we have reverse bias

b) V = V1 - V2 = 4.5 - 2.8 = 1.7 -> 1.7 is greater than zero therefore, we have forward bias

c9 V = V1 - V2 = -1 - -1.3 = 0.3 -> 0.3 is greater than zero therefore, we have forward bias

What does the current in a semi-conductor is produced by?
lesya [120]
Current flow in a semiconductor arises from the motion of charge carriers in both the conduction and valence bands. As explained in chapter 4, the mobile charges in the conduction band are electrons and those in the valence band are holes.

Which of the following is NOT true about hydraulic systems?
Dmitry [639]

Answer: The answer is D

D.In hydraulic systems, the operating temperatures must be kept between 170�F and 180°F 

Explanation:

The operating temperature for hydraulic systems is 140°F and below. Anything above this temperature is too high and will reduce the useful life of hydraulic fluid.

Most often problems associated with hydraulic systems are caused by fluid contaminated with particulate matter.

Water vapor at 1.0 MPa, 300°C enters a turbine operating at steady state and expands to 15 kPa. The work developed by the turbin
Andre45 [30]

Answer:

a) isentropic efficiency = 84.905%

b) rate of entropy generation = .341 kj/(kg.k)

Please kindly see explaination and attachment.

Explanation:

a) isentropic efficiency = 84.905%

b) rate of entropy generation = .341 kj/(kg.k)

The Isentropic efficiency of a turbine is a comparison of the actual power output with the Isentropic case.

Entropy can be defined as the thermodynamic quantity representing the unavailability of a system's thermal energy for conversion into mechanical work, often interpreted as the degree of disorder or randomness in the system.

Please refer to attachment for step by step solution of the question.
