Formulas

p-n Junction Diode as Rectifier

V_dc = V_m / π

I_dc = V_dc / R_L = V_m / (π × R_L)

V_dc = 2V_m / π

I_dc = 2V_m / (π × R_L)

Zener Diode as Voltage Regulator

I_s = (V_i - V_z) / R_s

I_s = I_z + I_L

I_z = I_s - I_L

P_d = V_z × I_z

Transistor as Amplifier

A_V = V_0 / V_i

A_V = -β × R_L / r_i

A_V = -g_m × R_L

A_I = i_0 / i_i = β

A_P = A_I × A_V = β × A_V

Transistor as Switch and Oscillator

I_C = V_CC / R_L (at saturation)

I_B = (V_BB - V_BE) / R_B

Aβ = 1 (condition for sustained oscillations)
