Answer:

1. Maximum forward current

2. Peak inverse voltage

3. Maximum power rating

Step-by-step explanation:

The limitations in the operations of a P-N junction are as stated below.

Every P-N junction has limiting values and will give better performance if operated within this values, and if this values are exceeded the P-N junction may be destroyed

1. Maximum forward current: the highest instantaneous current the P-N junction can conduct without being destroyed

2. Peak inverse voltage: the maximum reserve voltage that can be applied without destroying the P-N junction

3. Maximum power rating: the maximum power that can be dissipated at the junction without damaging it
