How does a varactor diode work? To form the PN junction that makes a diode, half the piece is doped with a trace amount of “donor atoms” that have one more electron than the intrinsic stuff to make ...

In the comment section of my last article, there was some great discussion about drawing schematic symbols. It is important you make your schematic symbols understandable. Sometimes, the pre-packaged ...

The scientists are going to show us how electrical energy flows around an electrical circuit. Title: Circuit symbols This is what a battery looks like as a circuit symbol. Electricity can travel ...

A semiconductor diode is an electronic component that allows current to flow in only one direction, acting like a one-way valve for electricity. It is commonly used for voltage regulation, converting ...
