PN Junction Diode
• A PN junction diode allows current mainly in one direction.

• Forward bias reduces the barrier potential and allows conduction.

• Reverse bias increases depletion region width and blocks current until breakdown.

Transistor Basics
• A transistor can be used as a switch or amplifier.

• BJT terminals are emitter, base, and collector.

• Small base current controls larger collector current.

MOSFET Basics
• MOSFET is a voltage-controlled device.

• Gate voltage controls current between drain and source.

• Enhancement MOSFET normally stays OFF until required gate voltage is applied.

SCR Basics
• SCR is a controlled rectifier with anode, cathode, and gate.

• Gate pulse turns the SCR ON when anode is positive with respect to cathode.

• After turning ON, SCR continues conducting until current falls below holding current.

Energy Meter Idea


• A single-phase AC energy meter measures electrical energy consumed.

• One unit of electrical energy equals 1 kWh.

• If a 1000 W load runs for 1 hour, energy used is 1 unit.
