all considered‚ but "transistor” was the winner of an internal ballot‚ due in part to the affinity that Bell engineers had developed the suffix "-istor" (4). The word transistor is a combination of “transfer” and “resistor” (7). While a single PN junction is useful‚ it also has its limitations. It can either conduct current or not‚ but can ’t really control how much current it will conduct. A transistor can control the current because of the way the device operates to transfer

I. Introduction a. Back ground of the Study Triac The TRIAC is a three terminal semiconductor device for controlling current. It gains its name from the term TRIode for AlternatingCurrent. It is effectively a development of the SCR or thyristor‚ but unlike the thyristor which is only able to conduct in one direction‚ the TRIAC is a bidirectional device. TRIAC The TRIAC is an ideal device to use for AC switching applications because it can control the current flow over both halves of

Semiconductor The diode – A diode is an electronic component which allows electric current to glow in only one direction. Diodes are constructed from semiconductors. The anode is the positive terminal and the cathode the negative terminal. LED= light emitting diode a diode which emits light. Semiconductor materials Silicon is the most commonly used semiconductor in electronics‚ germanium is also used. These elements form a stable crystal lattice‚ with each atom sharing its four outer electrons

photovoltaic effect was first recognized in 1839 by French physicist A. E. Becquerel. The photoelectric effect describes the release of positive and negative charge carriers in a solid state when light strikes its surface. Russell Ohl patented the modern junction semiconductor solar cell in 1946.Three scientists (Daryl Chapin‚ with Bell Labs colleagues Calvin Fuller and Gerald Pearson)invented the first practical device for converting sunlight into useful electrical power. This resulted in the production
