Semiconductor Devices: Diodes, Thyristors, and Transistors
Bias
In this polarization, negative atoms are attracted by the positive, and the negative by the positive, i.e., there would be a reversal of the current.
Zener Diode
This type of diode works like a normal one, but when reverse biased, it allows current to flow from a particular value of the bias voltage. This diode has a stabilizing function when the value of this variable exceeds the reverse bias. Conduction occurs in the opposite direction to establish a current through the Zener, and the resistance

Storage Units: Hard Drives, Floppy Disks, and BIOS Setup
Storage Units: Hard Drives and Floppy Disks
General storage units can permanently store data or programs without needing power. Examples include hard disks and DVDs.
Physical and Logical Structure
The physical structure refers to how the storage medium is divided and where information is stored. It is created during manufacturing. The logical structure is how the information is saved and organized, divided into several zones.
Floppy Disks
A floppy disk is a flexible or floppy magnetic storage medium

Semiconductor Materials and Their Applications
The primary semiconductor material is silicon, as it is an inexpensive and abundant material on Earth’s crust. Other notable semiconductor materials include germanium and gallium arsenide. These materials are used to construct active electronic components, which perform the core functions of electronic circuits.
Diodes: Unidirectional Current Flow
Rectifying Diodes
Diodes are electronic components that allow electric current to pass in only one direction.

Understanding Vehicle Wheel Alignment
Components: Command bars, adjustment tie rods, angular levers, and hinges.
Key Alignment Angles
Convergence (Toe): Measures the parallelism of wheels on the same axle, in millimeters or degrees.
Camber: The angle of the wheel’s vertical tilt, measured in degrees.
Departure Angle (Caster): The inclination of the steering pivot relative to the tire’s vertical axis.
Forward Angle (Kingpin Inclination): The pivot axis angle to the vertical, viewed from the side. Positive
