PIN diode in reverse bias condition offers

PIN diode in reverse bias condition offers Correct Answer infinite resistance

PIN DIODE has three regions:

  • P type layer
  • Intrinsic Layer
  • N-Type layer
  • The depletion region that exists between p and n regions is large. The layer between p and n regions includes no charge carriers
  • In the reverse bias, as the depletion region of diode has no charge carriers it works as an insulator
  • The depletion region exists within PIN diode but if the PIN diode is forward biased then carriers come into depletion region and there will be a flow of current

An Internal combustion engine has a connecting rod of mass 2 kg and the distance between the centre of crank and centre of gudgeon pin is 25 cm. The Center of Gravity lies at a point 10 cm from the gudgeon pin along the line of centres. The radius of gyration of this system about an axis through the Center of Gravity perpendicular to the plane of rotation is 11 cm.
