The average value of a half-wave rectified voltage with a peak value of 200 V is

Although current is blocked in reverse bias

What semiconductor device glows red, yellow, or green, depending upon its chemical composition?

If you wish to reduce the current flowing in a field effect transistor, you could:

JFET is a

The two basic types of bipolar transistors are:

Zener diodes are most commonly used in:

When a 60 Hz sinusoidal voltage is applied to the input of a full-wave rectifier, the output frequency is

The approximate voltage across the forward-biased base emitter junction of a silicon BJT is

Voltage regulation is the principal application of the:

Compared to bipolar transistor, a JFET has

A semiconductor is described as a "general purpose audio NPN device". This would be:
