The diode schematic arrow points to the:

Which type of transformer is required to create a 180 degree input to a rectifier?

Reverse biasing a pn junction allows the flow of majority current.

The barrier potential is the small difference of potential created by positive and negative ions on either side of the depletion region.

The voltage where current may start to flow in a reverse-biased pn junction is called the

The peak inverse voltage (PIV) across a nonconducting diode in a bridge rectifier equals approximately:

DC power should be connected to forward bias a diode as follows:
