Working of diode

Question

Working of diode

Accepted Answer

A diode is an electronic component that allows current to flow in one direction and blocks it in the opposite direction.

Diodes are made of semiconductor materials, such as silicon or germanium.
They have two terminals: an anode (positive terminal) and a cathode (negative terminal).
When a diode is forward-biased (positive voltage applied to the anode), it allows current to flow through it.
When a diode is reverse-biased (negative voltage applied to the anode), it blocks current flow.
Diodes are commonly used in rectifier circuits to convert AC (alternating current) to DC (direct current).
They are also used for voltage regulation, signal modulation, and protection against reverse current.
Examples of diodes include the standard PN junction diode, Schottky diode, Zener diode, and light-emitting diode (LED).
