What is the function of a diode?
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 happens when two objects with different masses are dropped under the same gravitational conditions?
They'll both hit the ground at the same time.
What conditions are necessary for two light waves to form an interference pattern of bright lines and dark areas?
State two necessary conditions for formation ofinterference fringes.
Why is a gunn diode called a diode?
A Gunn diode, also known as a transferred electron device (TED), is a form of diode used in high-frequency electronics. It is somewhat unusual in that it consists only of N-doped semiconductor material, whereas most diodes consist of both P and N-doped regions. In the Gunn diode, three regions exist: two of them are heavily N-doped on each terminal, with a thin layer of lightly doped material in between. When a voltage is applied to the device, the electrical gradient will be largest across the thin middle layer. Conduction will take place as in any conductive material with current being proportional to the applied voltage. Eventually, at higher field values, the conductive properties of the middle layer will be altered, increasing its resistivity and reducing the gradient across it, preventing further conduction and current actually starts to fall down. In practice, this means a Gunn diode has a region of negative differential resistance.
How is hydrum pump operated?
A foot operated hydraulic pump is used for lifting and a heavy duty gearbox for 320° of controlled tipping of the drum. The standard machine is designed to handle 205 Litre Steel drums that have two equi-spaced chimes over its length.
What are the two bias conditions for a diode?
The two bias conditions for a diode are forward and reverse
List the two conditions under which a diode is operated?
A diode is a semiconductor material which has p region and n region. In order to "turn on" and conduct current in the forward direction, a diode requires a certain amount of positive voltage to be applied across it. An ideal diode conducts only when the diode is forward biased, and then the voltage drop across the diode (Vd) is zero. When the ideal diode is reverse biased, no current flows. The two conditions to operate a diode are: (a) Current flow is permitted; the diode is forward biased. (b) Current flow is prohibited; the diode is reversed biased. When the polarity of the battery is such that current is allowed to flow through the diode, the diode is said to be forward-biased.
Why diode is called diode?
diode:= di+ iode di means two,and iode means terminal,,,, diode is two terminal device i.e anode and cathode
What is the term for an electronic component composed of two layers a semiconductor material?
An electronic component composed of two layers of a semiconductor material is a diode.
What are the two leads on a diode called?
The two leads on a diode are called the anode and the cathode.
What are two types of diode?
Light Emitting Diode (LED) & the Avalanche Diode. These are two types of diodes ,but there are more
Why diode is known as diode?
because two semiconductors are there.....P and N
What is use of diode?
Diode is a two terminal semicon. Diode is a Switching device
If diode is connected to two voltage sourceone in forward biased other biased diode in rewrse what will be net effect of two source on diode?
If a diode is connected with two voltage sources for ex: One is 5V in F.B and The other is 3V in R.B then the Effective voltage will be equal to 2V F.B. So, The diode conducts.
Why do some types of organisms use both types of reproduction?
The two modes of reproduction are favored under different conditions.
What type of diode is used to convert alternating current into direct current?
The type of diode used to convert alternating current in to direct current is the power diode.
How transistor work as a diode?
A: Actually a transistor have two diode with the base mas a common terminal. the characteristics of these tow diodes however are not the same as a common diode
