Question 4 options:
A)
Unlike junction diodes, point-contact diodes are enclosed in a suitable casing and have terminals for connecting them to a circuit.
B)
Unlike point-contact diodes, junction diodes use a point of metal wire in contact with a single wafer of P-type or N-type material.
C)
Junction diodes are preferred over point-contact diodes for most purposes.
D)
Point-contact diodes are more likely to be used as rectifiers than junction diodes.
1 answer
The correct option that accurately describes semiconductor diodes is:
C) Junction diodes are preferred over point-contact diodes for most purposes.
This is because junction diodes generally offer better performance, stability, and reliability compared to point-contact diodes, which are less commonly used in modern applications. The other options contain inaccuracies in comparing the two types of diodes.
