A white dwarf is the last stage of a low mass stars life. After a red giant is done fusing helium to carbon and oxygen, the star will collapse to a white swarf. White dwarves are usually between 15,000-6,000 kelvins.
A white dwarf is formed when a small or medium-sized star runs out of fuel in its core. The star becomes a red giant and later blow off the shell into the interstellar space. The remaining core becomes a white dwarf.

Can a mid sized star become a or a black dwarf?

Yes, a mid-sized star can eventually become a white dwarf or a black dwarf. After exhausting its nuclear fuel, the star sheds its outer layers to form a planetary nebula, leaving behind a white dwarf. Over trillions of years, a white dwarf may cool and fade into a black dwarf, although this process would take longer than the current age of the universe.


Is a dead star the some as a black dwarf?

No, a dead star is different from a black dwarf. A black dwarf is a type of stellar remnant, but not all stars become black dwarfs. When a star dies it will leave behind a white dwarf, a neutron star, or a black dwarf as a remnant depending on its mass. Given enough time a white dwarf will eventually cool to a black dwarf. The universe is not old enough for this cooling to have happened yet.

A cooled white dwarf is a black dwarf. I think you are thinking of a neutron star which has nothing to do with a white dwarf.
