Assignment: Semiconductors

<^< Written Questions: Semiconductors | Course Index | Introduction: Passive Circuits >^>(:nl:)

The section bellow contains an assignment for you to complete. This can be printed out for your own use.

Design and make an A2 size poster that can be used in a school physics laboratory to explain, in simple terms, how a semiconductor diode works. Your poster should be designed for students who have only a basic understanding of physics and it should include appropriate text and illustrations. Your poster should briefly explain each of the following topics:

# The P-N junction. # Forward and reverse bias. # Diode characteristics. # The diode as a rectifier. (:nl:)(:table style="clear:both":)
