What is the difference between a diode and scr?

A diode mainly consists of only 2 terminals(anode,cathode).A SCR mainly contains one more terminal called GATE.The main purpose of the gate in an SCR is just to provide pulses.The main draw back of SCR is it is not fully controllable device.

Can you use transistor as a rectifier?

No, a Transistor operates with a modulated direct current. You need 4 Diodes to manufacture a rectifier to deliver direct current at the outlet, with alternating current at the input. A Diode is effectively a one way valve to address one halve of the cycle of the alternating current.


Is electricity cost a controllable cost?

Electricity cost not a controllable cost. The manager cannot influence this type of expense. To the extent where a cost cannot be managed it is indeed a non controllable, now for electricity, to the extent where consumption can be raised or lowered it becomes a controllable cost. If the consumption can be optimized through processes or equipments it then is a controllable cost.


What does it means when we say-diode is specially designed to operate under reverse bias in breakdown region?

You are talking about a special type of diode called a zener diode which is designed, using special junction doping, to allow controllable reverse bias operation at a reduced breakdown voltage with a much sharper knee point curve than its normal forward breakdown curve. This allows the diode to be used as a voltage regulator. Normally, a diode's reverse breakdown curve is such that, at reverse breakdown, it avalanches and, without current limits in place, will self destruct. The zener diode, on the other hand, will operate in reverse much the same as it does in forward, just at a different voltage, and with a much sharper current to voltage curve, making it highly suitable as a voltage regulator.


How is zener diode different from a conventional diode or ideal diode?
