A diode is used to stop the negative voltage swing in an AC signal, so you only get the positive portions.

What is N4001 diode?
1.0A RECTIFIER diode used to convert ac power to dc power
Why tunnel diode differ from the rectifier diode?
tunnel diodethe doping level of the tunnel diode is high when compared with the rectifier diodeit exhibits negative resistancerectifier diodethe doping level of rectifier diode is low when compared with the tunnel diode
What type of rectifier used in radar?
the usual semiconductor rectifier used in the microwave band is a gunn diode. Vacuum tube diodes are sometimes used too.
What is diode rectifier?
By definiton, a diode lets electrical current flow only in one direction. A RECTIFIER DIODE is basically the same thing. It is used mainly for power supply operation and can handle higher current flow than a regular diode. Diodes are rated from milliamps to as high as 100 amps per diode depending upon the diode style and amperage rating. A recitifier diode is the same as a "Power diode". Diodes are mainly used to change AC (alternating current) into DC (directo current) which is used by batteries and etc.
Why transfer characteristics cannot be obtained for a bridge rectifier?
Its because one of the diode gets shorted.The diode in the left lower arm in a bridge rectifier gets shorted by the ground points of both the cro and the function generator.
Can a diode be used as rectifier diode?
yes, diode can be used as rectifier diode to convert ac to dc
Can diode be used as rectifier?
yes ofcourse diode can be used as rectifier but it's an uncontrolled rectification.
What is the function of diode what is the function of diode?
A diode is used primarily as a Rectifier

What effect does an open diode have on the output voltage of a half wave rectifier and on a full wave rectifier?
An open diode will result in no output from a half wave rectifier, and an open diode will cut the output of a full wave rectifier in half.
Are diodes rectifiers?
No. Diodes are diodes. One diode can be USED as a half-wave rectifier. Four diodes can be used to build a bridge rectifier.
What type of rectifier used in radar?
the usual semiconductor rectifier used in the microwave band is a gunn diode. Vacuum tube diodes are sometimes used too.
What is the function of a rectifier diode?
A rectifier can convert AC to pulsating DC.
Can zener diode used as rectifier?
Yes **************************************** Yes they can but there are pitfalls. A normal diode will have a high reverse breakdown voltage. A zener has a relatively low breakdown voltage (its "zener"voltage). If a zener diode is used as a rectifier it must have a zener voltage at least twice the peak of the applied a.c.
What isDifference between ordinary rectifier and precision rectifier?
A simple rectifier circuit uses a diode and there is a turn ON voltage for the diode. The input voltage has to exceed the turn ON voltage (0.6V for ordinary Si diode) before rectification is achieved. A precision rectifier is an active circuit using an opamp and a diode in the feedback loop. This overcomes the turn-on "knee" voltage. The op amp reduces the turn-on voltage of a diode in its feedback loop by a factor equal to the open-loop gain of the op amp. For practical op amp gains this reduces the forward voltage to a fraction of a mV, thus giving a "precision" or near ideal diode characteristic for the rectifier function.
Why diode is used as a rectifier?
Diode rectifies the AC signal. So it was called as rectifier. ******************************************** Rectification means changing a.c. to d.c. A diode is a one-way device, i.e. it allows current to pass in only one direction, so it is the obvious choice for rectification.
