  Basic Electronics Introduction We know that earlier electronic devices were made up of vacuum tubes or valves Vacuum tubes or Valves: The evolution of vacuum tubes started with diode and proceeded to triode, tetrode and pentode Valves control the flow of electrons; In diodes, there were two electrodes – cathode and anode Similarly, triode had three electrodes – cathode, grid and anode; tetrode had four electrodes – anode, two grids and cathode; pentode had five electrodes –anode, three grids and cathode Generally in vacuum tubes, the electrons are produced by heating the cathode using low tension battery; The vacuum helps in electron not losing its energy by collision with air molecules in the way However, the vacuum tube devices had some disadvantages and they are Bulky Operate at high voltages Consume more power Have limited life Low reliability    Diodes and transistors Next came the discovery of semiconductor junction, namely, junction diode and transistors These re...

  Diodes After having known about various components, let us focus on another important component in the field of electronics, known as a  Diode . A semiconductor diode is a two terminal electronic component with a PN junction. This is also called as a  Rectifier . The  anode  which is the  positive terminal  of a diode is represented with  A  and the  cathode , which is the  negative terminal  is represented with  K . To know the anode and cathode of a practical diode, a fine line is drawn on the diode which means cathode, while the other end represents anode. As we had already discussed about the P-type and N-type semiconductors, and the behavior of their carriers, let us now try to join these materials together to see what happens. Formation of a Diode If a P-type and an N-type material are brought close to each other, both of them join to form a junction, as shown in the figure below. A P-type material has  holes ...
