What is a diode is like a?
A: a semiconductor conducts one way only
Is it possible to check diode and zener diode in laboratory?
yes, of course it is. one way is using a curve tracer.
What property of a diode enables it to convert ac to dc?
A diode allows electrons to pass only in one direction. During the negative half cycle of an alternating current the diode will not allow electron current to pass. It is like a one way valve. This property of diode enables it to convert AC into pulsated DC
When does the diode not allowed to flow the current?
A diode is a one-way gate for electrical current to flow through. You must have the right size diode for the amount of current that will be used in your circuit. The stripe on the diode is your output end. That is, the current must enter your diode at the non-stripe end and leave at the end with the stripe. This coincides with the diode symbol used on your schematic. If your diode is in backwards, the circuit will not work as the gate in the diode will block the current just the way it should.
What kind of device is diode?
It is an electronic device. A sort of one way valve for electricity.
Can diode be used as transister?
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 is a diode is like a?
A: a semiconductor conducts one way only
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 does a diode work on an engine shutoff solenoid?
A diode is a one way check valve basically. it will let current pass one way but not the other.
Is a resistor the same as a diode blocker?
No... Diode block one way... resistor block eitherway.
Is it possible to check diode and zener diode in laboratory?
yes, of course it is. one way is using a curve tracer.
How do you check if a diode is serviceable?
use a vomm set to infinite resistance if you have reistance one way and not the other way. diode is good (must be isolated from circuit) if no resistance both directions diode D.O.A.
What property of a diode enables it to convert ac to dc?
A diode allows electrons to pass only in one direction. During the negative half cycle of an alternating current the diode will not allow electron current to pass. It is like a one way valve. This property of diode enables it to convert AC into pulsated DC
How can test diode working or not?
It should only read one way
When does the diode not allowed to flow the current?
A diode is a one-way gate for electrical current to flow through. You must have the right size diode for the amount of current that will be used in your circuit. The stripe on the diode is your output end. That is, the current must enter your diode at the non-stripe end and leave at the end with the stripe. This coincides with the diode symbol used on your schematic. If your diode is in backwards, the circuit will not work as the gate in the diode will block the current just the way it should.
Can a turned around diode conduct electricity?
In one way it will, in the other it won't
When performing a diode test is necessary to?
A diode should show low resistance with the leads hooked one way and show an open with the leads reversed
