What is the proper term for what occurs in this illustration?

Full Wave 

Above is the schematic symbol of an electronic device. As it is drawn, label its two components (left side, right side).

Anode, Cathode

Question 4 options:

What does this schematic symbol represent? (Two words)

Zenner Diode

Name the process occurring in this illustration.

Half Wave

The voltage drop of a typical silicon diode is:

.5-.7v 

A diode is like a one way check valve.

True

An alternator diode is being tested using a DMM (digital multimeter) set to the diode check position. A good diode will read ________ if the leads are connected one way across the diode and ________ if the leads are reversed.

0.551v/OL

Germanium and silicon are example of… 

Semiconductors 

When the switch of this circuit is closed, the light bulb does not light but the capacitor reaches 12 volts. Is this normal or abnormal

Normal 

Does this circuit have more, less or the same capacitance as the previous question's circuit. Why? (Assume the capacitors of both circuits are the same part number).

Less, because there are more lines to ground

If the resistor value is increased in the above circuit, how will it affect the capacitor charging time? (Assume the capacitor is NOT charged before the switched is closed)

increase
