1. Answer the following with "TRUE" or "FALSE" then explain why. ________a.) Charges choose the path of least resistance. Given a resistor in parallel with a diode, no current willflow through the resistor when the applied voltage exceeds the diode’s forward voltage.________b.) Since diodes are unidirectional components, it will always block AC signals e.g. pulse train,sawtooth, triangular signals.________c.) Silicon diodes typically have a forward voltage of 0.7V.

2.) Answer the following with "TRUE" or "FALSE" then explain why. ___________a.) In a zener diode, when a potential equal to its knee voltage specification is applied from the cathode side to the anode side, it will follow normal diode operation and allow current to flow through.___________b.) When the flow of current in a diode protected branch is suddenly reversed, the diode willimmediately inhibit the flow of current allowing no charges to flow through. ___________c.) When different diode models are connected in series in such a way that they are oriented similarlyi.e. will allow a specific current flow, the voltage required to forward bias the series connection is the forward voltage of the diode with the highest knee voltage specification.
