An electric circuit consists of circuit elements (such asvoltage sources, resistors, capacitors and inductors)connected in closed paths by conductors.
A node in an electrical circuit is a point at which two ormore circuit elements are joined together (an essential
node is where three or more circuit elements join).
A loop in an electrical circuit is a closed path whose last
node is the same as the starting node.
A mesh is a special case of a loop. A mesh is a loop that
does not contain any other loops.

Conventional current flows from +ve terminal of batteryto ve terminal. Flow of electrons is in opposite directionto conventional current direction.
The terminal where conventional current enters anelement is assigned +ve polarity and the terminalwhere conventional current leaves an element is
assigned -ve polarity.
Following conventional current in a circuit, if we move
from +ve polarity towards ve polarity (voltage drop),the element absorbs energy that appears as heat orstored chemical energy. If we move from ve polaritytowards +ve polarity (voltage rise), the element supplies
energy.

The extreme value of R =infinity is given special nameof open circuit. Using analogy of a switch, it corresponds to the case when
switch is open (i.e. OFF)
The extreme value of R =0 is given special name ofshort circuit. Using analogy of a switch, it corresponds to the case whenswitch is closed (i.e. ON)

Electronic devices such as diodes and transistors aremade of a semiconductor material.
A basic knowledge of semiconductor physics helps us tounderstand diode and bipolar junction transistor
behaviour.
Common semiconductor materials are
Silicon (Si) [single-element semiconductor] Germanium (Ge) [single-element semiconductor] Carbon (C) [single-element semiconductor] Gallium Arsenide (GaAs) [compound semiconductor]

Silicon is the most widely used material in diodes,transistors other semiconductor devices.
Intrinsic (pure) Silicon is a crystalline material with Si
atoms held together by covalent bonds.

Extrinsic (impure) semiconductors are formed byadding small amounts of suitable impurities to intrinsicsemiconductors in order to improve conductivity.
The process of adding controlled impurities to intrinsic(pure) semiconductor materials is called doping.
Two types of extrinsic semiconductor materials are:
An n-type semiconductor material consists of Si
atoms and pentavalent impurity atoms.A p-type semiconductor material consists of Si atoms
and trivalent impurity atoms.

A pnjunction consists of a single crystal ofsemiconductor material that is doped to produce n-typematerial on one side and p-type on the other side.
The pn junction is fundamental to the operation ofdevices such as diodes and transistors.
Barrier Potential is the
amount of voltage required
to move electrons throughthe pn junction.
(0.7V for Si and 0.3V for Ge)

Diode is a device that allows current to flow in onedirection but blocks current in reverse direction.
An diode is a two terminal device (the anode or p andthe cathode or n) commonly made from Silicon.
The arrow in the symbol points in the direction ofconventional current flow.

Bias is the use of a dc voltage to establish certainoperating conditions for an electronic device.
A diode is said to be forward biased if the p-side of thediode is more +ve with respect to the n-side of the diode.
A diode is said to be reverse biased if the n-side of thediode is more +ve with respect to the p-side of the diode.

Diode is a non-linear device.
Diode is usually operated in the forward bias and reverse
bias regions, without entering the breakdown region.

A mechanical switch in ON state allows current toflow in either direction.
A diode in ON state allows current to flow in onedirection only (uni-directional switch). The arrow in thesymbol points in the direction of conventional current
flow.
Practically, we assume a 0V drop across a mechanicalswitch in ON state while we assume a 0.7V drop
across a diode in ON state.
