Direction: On a clean sheet of paper, 4. Diode

identify and explain the following defects of
the electrical components stated below and
put pictures that correspond to the following
defects.

1. Resistor

Defect: Reverse Bias Failure

Defect: Open Circuit
Explanation: An open circuit in a resistor
occurs when there is a break in the resistor,
preventing current flow.
Explanation: Reverse bias failure in a diode
happens when the diode fails to block the
reverse current flow.
5. Inductor

2. Capacitor

Defect: Short Circuit Defect: Broken Core

Explanation: A short circuit in a capacitor Explanation: A broken core in an inductor
happens when there is a direct connection occurs when the core material is damaged,
between the two terminals, leading to affecting the inductance.
excessive current flow.

3. Transistor

Defect: Collector-Base Short

Explanation: A collector-base short in a
transistor occurs when there is a direct
connection between the collector and base
terminals.
