No. A diode can not be used as a transistor. A diode allows electricity to flow in one direction like a one way street. A transistor works the same way as putting a stop light in the one way street. It lets electricity flow at certain times and keeps electricity from flowing at certain times.
Of course a diode only works when electricity is there to flow just like a one way street only works when there are cars there to ride through it.
What else can I help you with?
Function of transister?
transister is the electronic divice used for correct current flow
Can a transister base-emitter junction be used as a zener diode?
No, the doping profile is entirely wrong. Also some transistors have very low reverse breakdown voltage on the BE junction and will burn out!
What are the other small low energy consuming devices like solar cell calculators?
Resistor, transister, diode, capacitor etc
What is unijunction tranjistor?
In unijunction transister there be a only one P-N Junction like diode, and current conduction takes place by either through holes or electrons.
Can a diode be used as rectifier diode?
yes, diode can be used as rectifier diode to convert ac to dc
What is the function of diode what is the function of diode?
A diode is used primarily as a Rectifier
Can diode be used as rectifier?
yes ofcourse diode can be used as rectifier but it's an uncontrolled rectification.
What type of diode is used as a variable capacitor?
varactor diode is a correct answer
Is it pn junction diode used as voltage regulator?
zener diode
What type of diode is a HVR-1X4 diode?
It's a high voltage diode, typically used in microwave ovens.
A bipolar transister consists of emitter and what else?
Bipolar transister consist of emitter base & collecter
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.
