I'm fairly new here and I don't want to ask a question that is too basic or has a too obvious answer that everyone (except me) could find on the net. Old fashioned (to avoid "ancient") p-n juncti...
Trying to update my understanding of basic semiconductors. It has been a very long time since I seriously looked at semiconductors. The most basic semiconductor application is a diode. From Wikip...
I had a question on quantum-computing at physics, and I'm wondering if questions like that would be appropriate here. It is not exactly "Electrical Engineering" but very close to it. It would be ...
Old fashioned p-n junction devices suffered from a voltage drop (0.6V for Si, 0.2V for Ge, if I remember correctly). FETs and CMOS were the latest highlight back then, and highly prone to be destr...
Capacitors are expected to obey ${\displaystyle C={\frac {Q}{V}}}$ very closely, so computations in RCL-networks can be done assuming impedance to be $j\omega C$. On the other hand, batteries (rec...
