The circuit symbol is a driver for a solenoid (coil) of a solenoid valve S. What is purpose of the diode IN 4 002 connected in parallel to the solenoid S?
Correct answer:
Allowing stored energy in solenoid to dissipate as freewheel current, and therefore prevent damage to transistor from inductive switching voltage.Your Answer:
Making voltage drop of approximate 0,5 V between the operational amplifier and the transistor 2N5194 to assist transistor biasing.
