An ordinary diode, no. It has nowhere to get energy from.
But a solar cell is a type of diode that converts light to electricity. So it is a diode that can power a circuit. So yes, there is one type of diode that can power a circuit.

What is diode capacitance?
The max amount of voltage the diode can block from going into the circuit backwards.
What is N4001 diode?
1.0A RECTIFIER diode used to convert ac power to dc power
Am demodulator diode detector circuit?
demodulator circuit is a circuit which is used for remove all high frequency components from modulated signal.
What do you call a diode installed across a coil with the cathode toward the battery positive?
A diode connected in this way is a flyback diode or kickback diode. There are some other names that may be applied. The diode is a protection device. When power to the coil is discontinued, the electromagnetic field around the coil will collapse. The collapse of that field will induce a voltage, and this could expose circuit elements to "kickback" from the field collapse. The polarity of the induced voltage will, however, forward bias the diode, and it will conduct current for an instant. The inductive kickback of the coil will thus be damped by that diode.
Can you use a capacitor instead of zener diode in biased clipping circuit?
No. The purpose of the zener diode is to clip (turn on) at a certain voltage. A capacitor will not exhibit this behavior.
What is the difference between electric diode and electronic diode?
Not sure of your context. A diode is a diode. One artificial distinction might be that an electric diode refers to a diode used in a higher power application with more current where an electronic diode might be found on a circuit board as part of an electronic lower power application.
What is the purpose of the diode in the GM AC clutch circuit?
The purpose of the diode is to prevent electricity to flow in the wrong direction in a circuit. The purpose of the diode is to prevent electricity to flow in the wrong direction in a circuit.
Am demodulator diode detector circuit pdf?
diode detector for am demodulation
Why there is no current when two terminals of the diode are shorted?
There must be a break in the power supply elsewhere in the circuit. I suggest a blown fuse The only diode that generates electricity is a solar cell
How does the cut in voltage effects the output of a diode clipper?
For answering this question we have to consider the constant voltage drop model of the diode which says that if voltage across diode is less then its cut in voltage than assume diode to be open circuit and if it is greater then assume diode to be short circuit.Till the input voltage is less than the cut in voltage, diode is open circuit(thus no current through the circuit). Thus entire input voltage appears across the diode as output.When input voltage is greater than or equal to cut in voltage, then short circuit the diode. Thus, there will be no voltage drop across the diode as output.Thus cut in voltage decides when to consider the diode open circuit and when short circuit. It decides when the diode will have output when it will not.
What is the effect of diode voltage drop as the output voltage?
The effect of diode voltage drop as the output voltage is that the input voltage will not be totally transferred to the output because power loss in the diode . The output voltage will then be given by: vout=(vin)-(the diode voltage drop).
Why UJT's equivalent circuit has a diode?
A UJT is a special type of diode with a long resistive base having 2 contacts and acting as a voltage divider. The diode junction is created at a point on this base selected to set the trigger voltage of the UJT at which it will conduct. Therefore the equivalent circuit has a diode because the actual circuit has a diode.
What is the output of a diode can be?
A diode itself has no input or output.The circuit containing the diode usually has an input and an output, maybe even more than one of each. The output of this circuit will depend on far more than the diode as well as depending on the type of diode used.Theoretically: if a diode is connected across the secondary output of a stimulated transformer, you would read a half wave at the frequency of the source across diode.Such a circuit would cause any real diode to explode due to lack of any current limiting and the resulting high power dissipation in the diode.Hence "Theoretical". That's kind of what "Theoretical" means.
What is diode capacitance?
The max amount of voltage the diode can block from going into the circuit backwards.
Practical diode model define and explained?
a way of diode modelling in which diode just work as an energy source in the circuit
Scr firing circuit diagram with diode?
K = 1 [π − α + 1 sin(2α )] is the formula of calculating the SCR firing circuit diagram with diode.
When a 10mA forward bias current and the voltages at the anode and cathode of a diode in a circuit are found to be the same what is the diode most likely to be?
With a 10mA forward bias current, if the voltages at the anode and cathode of a diode in a circuit are found to be the same, then the diode most likely to be shorted.
