When a positive voltage is applied to anode of the diode from the circuit, more holes are able to be transferred to the depleted region, and this causes the diode to become conductive, allowing current to flow through the circuit.

This often matches conventional current direction, because in many circuits the power supply voltage is positive with respect to ground.

From the Shockley ideal diode equation given above, it might appear that the voltage has a positive temperature coefficient ( at a constant current ), but usually the variation of the reverse saturation current term is more significant than the variation in the thermal voltage term.

Likewise a positive gate-to-source voltage increases the channel size and allows electrons to flow easily.

Conversely, in an n-channel enhancement-mode device, a positive gate-to-source voltage is necessary to create a conductive channel, since one does not exist naturally within the transistor.

The positive voltage attracts free-floating electrons within the body towards the gate, forming a conductive channel.

In a p-channel depletion-mode device, a positive voltage from gate to body creates a depletion layer by forcing the positively charged holes away from the gate-insulator / semiconductor interface, leaving exposed a carrier-free region of immobile, negatively charged acceptor ions.

A positive voltage of 5 to 10 kilovolts is applied to the tip.

When the voltage of C1 right-hand plate ( Q2 base voltage ) becomes positive and reaches 0. 6 V, Q2 base-emitter junction begins diverting a part of R2 charging current.

Cl-causes hyperpolarization within the neuron, decreasing the probability of an action potential firing as the voltage becomes more negative ( recall that for an action potential to fire, a positive voltage threshold must be reached ).

If the inverting input is held at ground ( 0 V ) directly or by a resistor, and the input voltage V < sub > in </ sub > applied to the non-inverting input is positive, the output will be maximum positive ; if V < sub > in </ sub > is negative, the output will be maximum negative.

This means that the op-amp is set up as a comparator to detect a positive voltage.

* The large voltage swings and requirement for positive and negative supplies increases power consumption of the interface and complicates power supply design.

Control signals have the opposite polarity ; the asserted state is positive voltage and the inactive state is negative voltage.

Negative voltage attracts positive metal ions toward the wires.

For either mode, a more positive gate voltage corresponds to a higher current for N-channel devices and a lower current for P-channel devices.

Conversely, increasing the positive DC voltage on the plate will attract more electrons toward it.

In the class A triode amplifier, an anode resistor would be connected between the anode and the positive voltage source.

A second electrode, the anode or plate, will attract those electrons if it is at a more positive voltage.

The controlling voltage was superimposed onto the bias voltage, resulting in a linear variation of plate current in response to both positive and negative variation of the input voltage around that point.

This makes the Br closest to the double bond slightly positive and therefore an electrophile.

The lake also provides another positive effect, moderating Chicago's climate ; making waterfront neighborhoods slightly warmer in winter and cooler in summer.

These historians were generally unsympathetic to John's behaviour under Richard's rule, but slightly more positive towards the very earliest years of John's reign.

When they encounter an infection site the particles gain a positive charge provoked by the slightly acidic environment at the infection sites, allowing them to bind to the negatively charged bacterial cell walls and release antibiotics at locally high concentration.

Historian and biographer Edmund King, whilst painting a slightly more positive picture than Davis, also concludes that Stephen, while a stoic, pious and genial leader, was also rarely, if ever, his own man, usually relying upon stronger characters such as his brother or wife.

* Since the water molecule is not linear and the oxygen atom has a higher electronegativity than hydrogen atoms, it carries a slight negative charge, whereas the hydrogen atoms are slightly positive.

Yet, regardless of the positive signs, prospective students still saw SAMS as " a slightly chancy thing to sign up for ".

The process of ionization works slightly differently depending on whether an ion with a positive or a negative electric charge is being produced.

Interestingly, the above " Sharkovskii ordering " of the positive integers also occurs in a slightly different context in connection with the logistic map: the stable cycles appear in this order in the bifurcation diagram, starting with 1 and ending with 3, as the parameter is increased.

PWRs are designed to be maintained in an undermoderated state, meaning that there is room for increased water volume or density to further increase moderation, because if moderation were near saturation, then a reduction in density of the moderator / coolant could reduce neutron absorption significantly while reducing moderation only slightly, making the void coefficient positive.

Wings are often angled slightly upwards-they have " positive dihedral angle " which gives inherent roll stabilization.

Presenting themselves as a positive, enthusiastic, slightly oddball party band, the B-52s tell tall tales, glorify wild youth, and celebrate wild romance.

In the film, the vicar ( of Bray, County Wicklow in Ireland ) is given a more positive character and events are placed at a slightly earlier period, during the English Civil War.

Commercial buildings, and sometimes residential, are often kept under slightly positive air pressure relative to the outdoors to reduce infiltration.

The two sets of orthogonal grid wires were normally " biased " slightly positive, so that the electrons from the cathode could flow through the grid and reach the dielectric.

The migrational balance is slightly positive (+ 350 people in 2006 ).

In addition the equation of time ( which depends on the date ) must be added: a positive value on a given date means that the sun is running slightly ahead of its average position, so the value must be subtracted.

In the same way that there cannot exist a " slightly negative " positive number, one cannot perceive a blueish-yellow or a reddish-green.

Their " Top Critics ", however, were slightly more positive, with 50 % of the reviews being positive.

The above procedure shows why taking the pseudoinverse is not a continuous operation: if the original matrix has a singular value 0 ( a diagonal entry of the matrix above ), then modifying slightly may turn this zero into a tiny positive number, thereby affecting the pseudoinverse dramatically as we now have to take the reciprocal of a tiny number.

The original 2005 Xbox 360 version of the game fared slightly worse with critics when it was released but still received generally positive reviews, scoring 75 / 100 on Metacritic, and 72 / 100 on MobyGames averaged scores.

Usually the upper distance is slightly more than the bottom one, resulting in a positive tiller.

This attraction distorts the ion lattice, moving the ions slightly toward the electron, increasing the positive charge density of the lattice in the vicinity.
