Which diode are also known as reference diode?
zener
What is tunnel diode?
A thin junction diode which exhibits negative resistance under low forward bias condition is known as tunnel diode.
What is the tUnnel diode?
A thin junction diode which exhibits negative resistance under low forward bias condition is known as tunnel diode.
How do you use a thyristor as a diode?
A thyristor, also known as a silicon controlled rectifier, is a diode that can be turned on by application of a small gate voltage.
Why diode don't allow the current coming in opposite direction?
Diode is known as a rectifier because it only allows the current to flow in one direction. Diode is only effective when the input is AC.
What is zener dioide?
Zener diode can be defined as diode which allows current to flow in the forward direction in the same method as an ideal diode, but will also allow it to flow in reverse direction when the voltage is above definite value known as the breakdown voltage
What is verector diode in electronics?
I think you you are asking about varactor diode. varactor means variable capacitor. varactor diode is a p-n junction diode which provide a capacitance across it subjected to applied forward and reverse bias. means it provide variable capacitance which depends on the applied reverse voltage(mostly varactor diode works on reverse voltage).They are also known as varicap
What is the symbol of esaki diode?
The symbol for the esaki diode, also known as the tunnel diode, is similar to the zener diode, except that the two stems on the end of the cathode both point back towards the anode, and they are at 90 degrees instead of 45 degrees. For more information, and a picture, please see the related link below.
How is zener diode different from a conventional diode or ideal diode?
zener diode :zener diode operates under reverse bias voltageideal diode :ideal diode operates under forward bias voltage
Can a diode be used as rectifier diode?
yes, diode can be used as rectifier diode to convert ac to dc
What is a description of Simple P-N junction diode?
The junction formed by the combination of a P- type & N-Type material in known as PN jn diode. It is used as a switch as well as a rectifier.
Which is better light emitting diode or laser diode?
Laser diode
