Letâs say you buy an investment for $100, sell it for $10 and lose $90. That lost $90 is called your capital losses. Whatâs interesting about capital losses, however, is that you can actually use capital losses to help offset capital gains â past, present and future, and thereby pay less income tax.
syn: junction, juncture refer to a place, line, or point at which two or more things join. A junction is also a place where things come together: the junction of two rivers. A juncture is a line or point at which two bodies are joined, or a point of exigency or crisis in time: the juncture of the head and neck; a critical juncture in a struggle.
A pân junction. The circuit symbol is shown: the triangle corresponds to the p side. See also: pân diode and Diode Â§ Semiconductor diodes. A pân junction is a boundary or interface between two types of semiconductor material, p-type and n-type, inside a single crystal of semiconductor.he same is true of an n-doped semiconductor, but the junction between them can become depleted of charge carriers, and hence non-conductive, depending on the relative voltages of the two semiconductor regions.
