When a negative potential is connected to the cathode and a positive potential is connected to the anode of a PN junction, the diode is forward biased. In this configuration, the positive potential at the anode repels the majority charge carriers in the P-region towards the junction, while the negative potential at the cathode attracts the majority charge carriers in the N-region towards the junction. This creates a low resistance path for current to flow through the diode, allowing current to flow from the anode to the cathode.

104. (027) Refer to foldout 5. During your operational check of the A/M32A–60A generator set, the unit runs up to 80 percent and the ready to load light comes on. What do you check?

Explanation

The correct answer is to check if the 95 percent centrifugal switch (S14) is closed. This is because the question states that the generator set runs up to 80 percent and the ready to load light comes on. In normal operation, the generator set should run up to 95 percent before the ready to load light comes on. Therefore, the most likely cause of the issue is that the 95 percent centrifugal switch (S14) is not closed, which is preventing the generator set from reaching its full capacity.
