Detailed Solution. When a PN diode is forward biased then diffusion takes place, which will reduce the depletion width and results in the lowering of barrier potential. Hence, we can say that the diffusion current causes the barrier potential. Where is a pn junction formed? Formation of a P-n junctionRead More →
A diode is called a diode because it has two distinct electrodes (i.e. terminals), called the anode and the cathode. A diode is electrically asymmetric because current can flow freely from the anode to the cathode, but not in the other direction. Is transistor a pn junction diode? Two p-nRead More →
Electrical splices can never be left on their own in a wall or ceiling cavity. Instead, all splices must be contained within an approved junction box or fixture electrical box. … The old, informal method of splicing wires together with electrical tape should never be used. Do you need toRead More →
Depletion region is formed in a junction diode because depletion region is created around the p-n junction which is devoid of free charge carriers and has immobile ions. It is created due to diffusion of majority carriers across the junction when p-n junction is formed. How is depletion layer formedRead More →
(1) Insert incoming (powered from circuit) wire. Attach its ground wire to the metal box via ground screw AND attach it to the outlet ground. (2) Insert outgoing (to next outlet) wire and attach its ground wire to the metal box. (3) Repeat until you get to the last outlet.Read More →
Junction boxes must be installed where they are always accessible; never install a junction box in a concealed wall or ceiling space where the box cannot be accessed in the future. Junction boxes also must be covered with solid covers with no holes. Can I put a junction box anywhere?Read More →
You can definitely use a junction box to extend your wiring. To do this, start by turning off the power. Then inspect the place and cut the required openings. Next, position the wires and adjust the box to pass the wires through. How do you connect 4 wires to aRead More →
