BASIC DIODE ELECTRONICS INTRODUCTION TO DIODES The p-n Junction The p-n junction is a homojunction between a p-type and an n-type semiconductor. It acts as a diode‚ which can serve in electronics as a rectifier‚ logic gate‚ voltage regulator (Zener diode)‚ switching or tuner (varactor diode); and in optoelectronics as a light-emitting diode (LED)‚ laser diode‚ photodetector‚ or solar cell. In a relatively simplified view of semiconductor materials‚ we can envision a semiconductor as having two

Computer Technician I Believe a Computer Technician is a good career for me because I have been around computers for many years now and enjoy them. I began to learn the basics of computers from my father when I was about 9 years old. Since then I have pretty much taught myself and took off in the computer field. I now have 7 networked computers " linked together "‚ help run an internet provider and build web pages. About a year ago my Uncle changed jobs and now he is a Computer Technician

THE VALUE OF COMPUTER EDUCATION TODAY Necessity is the mother of revolution. The saying holds true for computers also because computers were invented as a result of a main search for a fast and an accurate calculating device. A few days ago there were only few computers in our country. They were enormous and expensive machines. Although abacus was invented around 600 B.C. It is interesting to know that it can calculate at an amazing speed. The first mechanical adding machine was invented by Blaise

the same processes that are at work today were at work in the past. Summarized by “The present is the key to the past.” Hutton recognized that time is the critical element to the formation of common geologic structures. Uniformitarianism is a basic foundation of modern geology. Although catastrophism was abandoned‚ there is certainly evidence that sudden events do occur. From space‚ Earth looks small‚ finite and fragile. What’s the first thing that you notice about our planet when

Microorganisms: * Small living organisms; there are 3 types * Bacteria – ecoli‚ salmonella * Fungi – mushrooms‚ athletes foot * Virus – influenza (flu)‚ HIV * When they enter our body‚ they multiply and release toxins / harmful chemicals into our blood * They duplicate every 20 minutes * Physical barriers: eyelashes prevent MO’s from entering through our eyes‚ nasal hairs reduce them‚ skin is a barrier to them (although they can enter through cuts)‚ chemicals in tears

Basics of Magnetism by Ron Kurtus (revised 29 January 2013) Magnetism is a force of attraction or replusion that acts at a distance. It is due to a magnetic field‚ which is caused by moving electrically charged particles. It is also inherent in magnetic objects such as a magnet. A magnet is an object that exhibits a strong magnetic field and will attract materials like iron to it. Magnets have two poles‚ called the north (N) and south (S) poles. Two magnets will be attacted by their opposite poles

Study Skills To have good study skills there are many things that must come together for this to happen; time management‚ goal setting‚ and the study environment are just three important areas that will be discussed. Time management will be the first important area that will discussed. We all at some point in our lives have to somehow deal with time management. As Goodstein (1999) expressed‚ “learning to manage time well is a key skill for success at home and in the workplace” (p 44). A prime

Understanding and Developing Study Skills and Learning Methods Universities have adopted a teaching technique that means students are required to allocate study time to independent learning‚ this allows students to develop their existing study skills and learning techniques. Learning and studying is subjective‚ therefore individual techniques will differ significantly to fit in with students unique learning styles. When considering study skills and learning methods it is critical that certain

Computer hacking is the practice of modifying computer hardware and software to accomplish a goal outside of the creator’s original purpose. People who engage in computer hacking activities are often called hackers. Since the word “hack” has long been used to describe someone who is incompetent at his/her profession‚ some hackers claim this term is offensive and fails to give appropriate recognition to their skills. Computer hacking is most common among teenagers and young adults‚ although there
