Study of motion of electrons controlled by electronic devices such as PN-junction.
PN-junction is basic building block of electronics.
PN-junction
A PN-junction is formed when one half of pure crystal (Si or Ge) is doped with trivalent impurity and other
Half with pentavalent impurity.
Pentavalent Impurity- N type
Trivalent Impurity- P type Contains electrons as majority
Contains holes a s majority charge carriers and holes as
charge carriers and electrons minority carriers.
as minority carriers.

Depletion region:
Contain no charge carriers.
Diffusion of free electrons from N-region to P-region Develop a P.D across the PN junction
which stop further movement of electrons, known as P.B. It depends upon nature of crystal.

For Ge P.B = 0.3 V

Rectification
Process of converting A.C into D.C, is called rectification. Rectification is of two types namely
1. Half wave rectification 2. Full wave rectification
1. Half wave rectification
In this type of rectification any one half of A.C cycle (either +ve Rectified output voltage varies in magnitude with time, called
or _ve) is converted into D.C . pulsating D.C.

V = 0V One cycle of pulsating D.C, is called ripple

When fraction of 𝐕𝐎 is fed back to input, the gain is called closed loop gain.
When no fraction of 𝐕𝐎 is not fed back to input, the gain is called open loop
