The figure shows a straight-line approximation for the forward characteristics of a power diode. A continuous on-state current of 15 A is flowing through the diode.
What is the power loss in the diode?
Consider the circuit shown in Figure (a). A gate pulse $v_g$ is applied between time instants $t_0$ and $t_1$. After $t_1$, during the MOSFET turn OFF process, it experiences a voltage overshoot.


Based on the $v_{d s}$ waveforms shown in Figure (b), which one of the following options is correct?
If the following switching devices have similar power ratings, which one of them is the fastest?
A semiconductor switch needs to block voltage V of only one polarity (V > 0) during OFF state as shown in figure (i) and carry current in both directions during ON state as shown in figure (ii). Which of the following switch combination(s) will realize the same?
