5. Given the following electric potential function, identify the the location or locations (could be multiple places) for V A B r D C a. Where the electric field is largest b. Where the electric field is zero: c. Which way does the electric field point? i. From A$\to$C or C$\to$A: ii. From C$\to$D or D$\to$C: d. Where will a positive point charge have the greatest potential energy? e. A negative point charge at B will try to move toward A, C or remain in equilibrium? 6. If a sine wave is sent through a PN junction diode, as shown, what will the output look like? Draw a representative diagram below the picture to represent your answer. input output output
