A diode is basically any of a great variety of circuit element that has two electrical connections. They serve many different functions. The simplest type, the rectifier diode, only lets current through in one direction - but there are other specialized diodes, like the LED (light-emitting diode), to name but one.
A diode can also be used as a clamp, and as a detector (mixer) in an a.m. receiver.

What is the temperature of germanium diode compare to silicon diode?
97f
What is unit of diode?
Unit of diode? It seems irrelevant query
What parameter in a germanium diode differs from those in a silicon diode?
germenium diode contains majority electron as a charge carriers while the silicon diode contains holes as a majority charge cariers,
What is the difference between a silicon diode and a germanium diode?
The silicon diode (unless its a Schottky diode) conducts at approximately 0.6 volts. The germanium diode, however, conducts at a much lower voltage, typically 0.2 volts. This means that the germanium diode is better at small signal rectification applications, such as AM radio detectors, allowing a smaller tuner tank circuit.
Is a diode laser a nd. yag laser?
No. A diode laser is a semiconductor and Nd:YAG is a crystal.
What is the function of diode what is the function of diode?
A diode is used primarily as a Rectifier
What is the function of diode detector?
the function of a diode detector is to detect stuff
What is the main function of diode?
the main function of the diode is to allow current to flow in just one direction and oppose the flow of current in negative direction.In short diode rectifies the current..

What is the function of diode 1418?
This appears to be a Motorola diode, and a data sheet is available from that company.
What is the function of zener?
zener diode is a revers bias diode which used for voltage regulation.
What is the function of a Light-emitting diode?
who cars
What is the difference between p n junction and zener diode?
The difference between the pn-junction diode and the zener diode is that the pn-junction diode is used for rectification while the zener diode is used for rectification and stabilization. Also, the zener diode can function in the breakdown region while the pn-juntion diode can not function in that regime.
Function of p-n junction diode?
it works as a switch
How a diode is like a one way street?
because that is its function
What is the function of zener dioed?
The function of a zener diode is for it to act as a voltage regulator in the breakdown region.
Function of a diode?
To allow electrons flow in one direction ONLY
