What is the effect of holding current in SCR?
The effect of holding current (anode to cathode) in an SCR is to retain the turned on state, even in the absence of any gate voltage. When used as an AC voltage controller, the SCR conducts from the moment the gate and anode goes positive until the anode goes negative on the next zero line crossing, irrespective of any further transistions on the gate.
What is meant by anode and cathode?
Anode is positive electrode which attracts the negative anions while cathode is the negative electrode which attracts the positive cations during electrolysis.
I don't understand. What are anodes and cathodes Positive or Negative I keep seeing different answers everywhere Thanks.?
It can be complicated depending on the type of cell one is looking at. However, here is my simple explanation.The anode is the electrode where the oxidation reaction takes place, and oxidation is the loss of electrons, so in a galvanic cell the anode is a source of free electrons and so it is negatively charged.The cathode is the electrode where reduction takes place, and reduction is the gain of electrons, so in a galvanic cell the cathode is positively charge and ready to accept negatively charged electrons.Now, the anode isn't always negative and the cathode isn't always positive. It has to do with the direction of current flow (anode = current in, cathode = current out). In an electrolytic cell, the charges on the anode and the cathode are reversed from that seen in a galvanic cell.
What does diode do?
A diode is a semiconductor meaning it will conduct from anode to cathode if the anode is held positive. Reversing the polarity Will in effect block current flow.
What is the direction of current flow in a diode valve?
Inside the diode valve the conventional curret flow is from anode to cathode. The electron flow is from cathode to anode.

When an electric current passed through water which gas is obtained on anode?
The anode is the negative electrode. It produces hydrogen gas.
What is meant by anode and cathode?
Anode is positive electrode which attracts the negative anions while cathode is the negative electrode which attracts the positive cations during electrolysis.
When electric current pass through water.Which gases r obtained as anode and which obtain as cathode?
Oxygen at positive anode and Hydrogen at negative cathode
Name of one electrode and say is positive or negative?
The Cathode is the negative electrode; the anode is the positive electrode
Why is the negative peak of the carrier wave discarded by a diode in demodulation?
It's caused by the action of the diode. A diode conducts when its anode is positive to its cathode, or... when its cathode is negative to its anode. The above statements are saying the same thing. You circuit is applying the carrier wave to the anode, and taking output from the cathode. The diode will conduct and pass the positive peaks of the carrier from its anode to its cathode and through to the load (next component/s after the diode), but diode action will not permit conduction any time when the carrrier wave swings into negative voltage on the anode. You *could* turn the dioe around - then you would get only the *negative* peaks of the carrier wave passing through to the load.
What is a positive or negative pole of an electrochemical cell?
They are called the electrodes or terminals. The parts of a cell where current leaves and enters the cell. The cathode is the positive, the anode is the negative.
What is common anode?
A Common Anode Means A Negative Terminal Of The Battery.
What kind of sign does anode has?
An anode is positive, Cathode is negative. As such, an anode would usually be denoted as + If that is what you meant.
Do anodes have a positive electricity charge?
The "anode" is usually considered to be "negative". However in some experiments such as Gel Electrophoresis the anode is positive.
0n an LED what are the names of the positive and the negative leg?
Anode and cathode. Anode = negative lead, cathode = positive lead.
A diode conducts only when it is?
a diode will conduct when anode is more positive than the cathode
