Diode

Diode definition

Diode what is that? The diode is defined as two-terminal electronic components that only conduct the current in one direction. This one direction is called as forward biasing. An ideal diode should process as hero resistance in one direction. that means the diode will easily conduct at one direction of the supply voltage.

Use of a diode in electronic devices

The diode function – I already say that the diode Allows the forward biasing. So it hello to passes the voltage in one direction from one terminal to another terminal of the diode. The diode can be used as a signal mixer, oscillator modulator and mostly used as a rectifier switching system and signal demodulator.

The types of diode

What are the different types of diodes? There are several numbers of types are available in the diodes. The different types of diodes are.

Signal diode
Light-emitting diode or LED
IR LED
Photodiodes
Transient voltage suppression diode
Zener diode
Constant current diode
Schottky diode
Step recovery diodes
Point contact diode
Super barrier diode
Tunnel diode
Gunn diode
Crystal diode
Laser diode
Vacuum diodes
Silicon controlled rectifiers
And Peltier diodes

What happens when the diode goes bad?

When the diode is rated with a specific voltage range. Means the maximum working voltage range. When the current passing through the diode that exceeds the diode’s rating, in that time the diode will no longer block the current flowing in the reverse direction. It will short out the internal parts. and when that happens the diode does not pass the current in either direction.

Which way does voltage pass through a diode?

The diode is made up of two junction n and p. that means the anode and cathode the positive end of the diode is called the anode. And the negative terminal is called the cathode. When you’re connecting the positive supply voltage in the positive terminal the diode will conduct through the negative terminal and electrical energy passes from positive to Terminal in regular forward biasing condition and blocks the negative voltage. ( Diode in forwarding bias ).

What happens if you put a diode in a backward biasing position

can you please sing in backward that means the reverse the voltage direction by applying a positive terminal to the cardboard and negative terminal to the anode of diode the current does not pass through the diode in affect the diode will act as an insulator the voltage to the diode in the direction is called as the reverse biasing.
