Q: What is the primary function of a photodiode?

To convert light energy into electrical current. — Photodiodes are specifically designed to respond to light by producing a current.

Q: In a photodiode, the amount of current produced is directly proportional to:

The intensity of the incident light. — More light, more current. This is the fundamental characteristic.

Q: Ohm's Law states the relationship between voltage (V), current (I), and resistance (R) as:

V = I * R — This is the core formula; it describes the relationship between the three quantities.

Q: What is the unit of measurement for electrical resistance?

Ohm (?) — Resistance is measured in Ohms, often represented by the Greek letter Omega (?).

Q: If a circuit has a voltage of 12V and a resistance of 4?, what is the current flowing through the circuit?

3 A — Using Ohm's Law (I = V/R), I = 12V / 4? = 3A.

Q: In the reverse bias mode, a photodiode acts like:

An open switch — Reverse bias allows detection of light induced current changes with minimal internal current flow.

Q: Which of the following components is *most* crucial for proper photodiode operation?

A reverse bias voltage. — Reverse biasing helps separate photogenerated carriers to create a detectable current.

Q: The spectral response of a photodiode refers to:

Its ability to respond to different colors (wavelengths) of light. — Photodiodes are more sensitive to certain wavelengths of light compared to others.

Q: What happens to the current in a circuit if the resistance is increased while the voltage remains constant?

The current decreases. — According to Ohm's law, current and resistance are inversely proportional when voltage is constant.

Q: A photodiode is *most* commonly used in which type of circuit application?

Light detection. — Photodiodes are designed specifically for detecting and responding to light changes.
