Can you make a transistor by connecting two diodes back to back?
Two diodes, whether or not discreet, cannot work together as a transistor. The diodes and transistor have different profiles to optimize them for their specific functions
Can diode work on ac power supply?
diodes conduct electricity in only one direction but as ac change direction in each of its cycle diodes can only conduct half of its cycle which will give u a pulsating dc. but if dc is mixed with ac and if it can put whole of its cycle in positive direction diode can conduct ac. so diodes are usually used to produce dc from ac.
How does a frequency drive work?
Frequency drives are an adjustable-speed drive used for electro-mechanical drive systems. They control the motor speed and torque by varying motor input frequency and voltage.
How does the veractor diode work?
They are usually used as voltage variable capacitors,not as diodes. The diode is made in such a way that when reverse biased (where the voltage across the diode is in the polarity where very little current flows) the capacitance varies considerably with the voltage across it. This action is usually used to make resonant Inductor-capacitor circuits have their resonant frequency dependent upon the "DC" voltage across them. For instance: A low frequncy signal, like Audio, is impressed across a veractor tuned resonant circuit to make a much higher frequency oscillator (at say an FM station frequency) vary its frequency in proportion to the amplitude of the "instantaneous" Audio signal. (at 100 MHz nominal oscillation frequency, the audio is like slowly moving "DC"). One can make a frequency modulated radio this way. (rather distorted; veractor characteristics of V across to C across are pretty non-linear).These diodes are made by having one side of the "P-N" junction that forms the diode be very lightly doped. What this does is make the depletion region; the region where conductive carriers are pulled out by the reverse bias across the diode (where it doesn't conduct) change its width considerably more than usual. (all diodes have some of this voltage variability) This depletion width is non-conducting and acts like the dielectric of a capacitor. As the voltage across changes the width of the dielectric changes thus the capacitance across the device changes.
What is the voltage and frequency used in US and why?
the voltage and frequency are 110v and 50(or)60hz because the devices which are invented in us are work at that voltage and it is efficient for that devices.
