Silicon crystals have less free electrons than germanium crystals. However, silicon crystals can not easily be damaged by excessive heat. Peak inverse
Read MoreDiode rectifier app Apart from normal dc supplies, they can be used as current sources, as indirect voltage measurements, for reading line frequencie
Read MoreLed has low current rating. The safe operating forward current is something like 30-40 ma. this is too small for a rectifier application. The practica
Read MoreThe diode is useful because of its directional behavior, which allows forward flow of current and blocking in the opposite direction.The unidirectiona
Read MoreAs we all know, generally the diodes are two terminals of uni-directional semiconductor devices. The diode is just an electronic switch! depending
Read MoreWhat is Zener Diode. Zener diode is a special type of diode whose reverse bias voltage discharge is an interesting characteristic. a steeply penetrat
Read Morewe use diodes in series The basic purpose of diode is limiting direction of current. As we all know the current flow will be from + ve terminal to
Read Morediode is called a valve The diode passes the current in one direction (anode to the cathode), and blocks the current in the opposite direction (catho
