by noticing the polarity of theohmmeter a diode can be checked for continuity and blocking ability However it will not tell you how good or bad the device itself is BY keeping the multimeter in diode mode and keeping properly the positive and negative terminals of the multimeter. If the diode is good multimeter will show a reading of 0.5 else there will be a short.
To test a diode, you can do a variety of tests. The easiest may be measuring the resistance across the leads of a diode. One side should read very high resistance, over 1 megohm, while the other should read a moderate amount of resistance, maybe a few hundred thousand ohms. This is a sign that a diode works. If both sides read very high resistance, the diode is open. If both sides read very low resistance, then the diode is shorted.
gunn diode is transfered electron device & PIN diode is semiconductor device
whether we know that p-n diode is real diode. But still in case of semeconductor we see then silics is real diode.
Bulk resistance of diode depends on how it is biased. The bulk resistance of a diode is the approximate resistance of the diode when it is forward biased.
When testing a diode with dmm in diode test mode 0.6v is delivered through the device to indicate continuity
If the car is running do an AC voltage drop test from the positive on the alternator to the positive battery terminal. there should be less than 0.1v ac. if there is greater than 0.1v that would indicate a failed diode. Another way is to remove the alternator from the vehicle and disassemble it, exposing the diode trio. Using a multimeter on the diode setting, test for continuity on each side of each diode. Continuity should be detected only one way on each diode. If this is not the case on any of the 3 diodes, then the diodes have failed and are in need of replacement.
you cannot PNP-NPN looks the same but with a meter it is possible to check diode continuity therefore ascertain the type
to properly test relay you must have relay in circuit apply voltage to pin 1 if there is no diode there will not be a polarity issue. if there is a diode you must apply voltage to proper pin or you will have a short circuit. apply ground to pin 2 with coil energized there will be continuity across the other pins when voltage or ground is denied there will be no continuity. to properly test relay you must have relay in circuit apply voltage to pin 1 if there is no diode there will not be a polarity issue. if there is a diode you must apply voltage to proper pin or you will have a short circuit. apply ground to pin 2 with coil energized there will be continuity across the other pins when voltage or ground is denied there will be no continuity.

zener diode :zener diode operates under reverse bias voltageideal diode :ideal diode operates under forward bias voltage
Continuity
yes, diode can be used as rectifier diode to convert ac to dc
The read type diode are called impatt diode
A diode is used primarily as a Rectifier
Laser diode
