THEORY:The current entering any junction is equal to the current leaving

that junction.

i2 + i3 = i1 + i4This law is also called Kirchhoff's first law, Kirchhoff's point rule, or

Kirchhoff's junction rule (or nodal rule).The principle of conservation of electric charge implies that:

At any node (junction) in an electrical circuit, the sum of currents flowing into that node is equal to the sum of currents flowing out of that node,

or: The algebraic sum of currents in a network of conductors

meeting at a point is zero.Recalling that current is a signed (positive or negative) quantity

reflecting direction towards or away from a node, this principle can be stated as:

n is the total number of branches with currents flowing towards or away from the node.

THEORY:A diode is a two terminal unijunction device which is

formed by joining a P type and N type semiconductor through a metallic junction. If the positive of the supply is connected to the P type material and negative terminal is connected to the N type region then the diode is said to be forward biasing. If the connections are reversed then it is known as reverse bias.

During the forward biasing, electrons and holes are repelled toward the PN junction, where they recombine to form neutral changes and are replaced by free electrons from the battery. This movement of changes maintains a high forward current through the diode in the form of free electrons passing from the N material, toward the positive terminal of the battery. Because current flows in this connection, the diode is said to have a low forward resistance.

THEORY:A Zener diode is a diode which allows current to flow in the forward

direction in the same manner as an ideal diode, but will also permit it to flow in the reverse direction when the voltage is above a certain value known as the breakdown voltage, "zener knee voltage" or "zener voltage" or "avalanche point".

The device was named after Clarence Zener, who discovered this electrical property. Many diodes described as "zener" diodes rely instead on avalanche breakdown as the mechanism. Both types are used. Common applications include providing a reference voltage for voltage regulators, or to protect other semiconductor devices from momentary voltage pulses.

THEORY:

The junction gate field-effect transistor (JFET) is the simplest type of field effect transistor. A piece of n-type semiconductor material (channel) is sandwiched between two smaller pieces of p-type (gates). The ends of the channel are designated as drain (D) and the source (S), and the two pieces of p-type material are connected together and their terminal is named the gate (G).

When the gate is biased negative with respect to the source, the PN junctions are reverse biased & depletion regions are formed. The channel is more lightly doped than the p type gate, so the depletion regions penetrate deeply in to the channel. The result is that the channel is narrowed, its resistance is increased, & ID is reduced. When the negative bias voltage is further increased, the depletion regions meet at the center & ID is cutoff completely.

THEORY:UNIJUNCTION TRANSISTORThis is a three terminals, single or uni – junction semiconductor device.

The unijunction transistor (UJT) finds its main application in switching circuit, where rapid discharge of the capacitor is desired.

UJT consists of an N type semiconductor bar, is lightly doped. Two terminals base 1and base 2 are taken out from the upper and lower end of the bar. A heavily doped P – region is diffused into the n type bar, which results in a PN – junction. A terminal is taken out of this region and named as emitter. The emitter is always forward biased with respect to base 1.When a voltage Vbb is applied to the base terminals a drop appears across the internal resistance as follows.Drop across the resistor between emitter & base 2 (R2) = V2 + Vbb R2 / (R1 +R2).Similarly , the drop across resistor , R1 is V 1 = Vbb R1 / (R1+R2). The ratio of the internal resistors is defined as the Intrinsic stand off ratio, h, so V1=hVbb. Due to the existing PN junction, a depletion potential create and when a voltage is given to the device at the emitter terminal , the device does not conduct still the emitter voltage, Vee exceeds the sum of the depletion potential and the drop across R1, that is Vee>Vd + V1.B.

THEORY:The Silicon controlled Rectifier (SCR) is an unidirectional, Four

layer, PNPN device. The outer P and N layer are heavily doped. The outer P layer is called Anode, the outer N layer is called cathode and the middle P layer is called Gate. Under forward bias, Anode is +ve w.r.t Cathode. But the device is not ON only under forward bias condition. To make it ON, current is passed through the Gate terminal (IG). Hence the SCR is a current operating device.When the Gate terminal is open, ie when IG =0, after a certain forward bias voltage, the SCR turns ON. This voltage is called forward Break over Voltage (VBO).When the Gate – Cathode junction is forward biased, a current IG

flows.This current decreases the forward voltage, to make the SCR ON. Hence the gate control is more convenient and useful method to turn ON the SCR .Once if the device is ON, the Gate loses its control over it. To turn OFF the device, the Anode to Cathode voltage (VAK) is reduced to 0. In the forward characteristics of SCR, the region between 0 and VBO is the forward Blocking region of SCR . Under this region, the SCR is under forward blocking state. When the VBO is reduced, the voltage drop across SCR is reduced and the current increases rapidly. Under this condition, SCR is in ON state or conduction state.

PROCEDURE: Connections are made as per the circuit diagram. With a little gate current, increase the voltage across the

THEORY:A diac is a two terminal bidirectional semiconductor device which

can be switched from OFF state to ON state for either polarity of applied voltage. When a positive or negative voltage is applied across the terminals, onlya small amount of leakage current flow through it. As the applied voltage isincreased, the leakage current will continue to flow until the voltage reaches the break over voltage VBO. At this point avalanche breakdown occurs and the device exhibits negative resistance, ie, current through the device increases with the decreasing values of applied voltage.
