Which diode is used in frequency tuning application?

The varactor diode is used in frequency tuning applications. Its effective capacitance is a function of the reverse bias voltage across it.


What is the difference between a silicon diode and a germanium diode?

The silicon diode (unless its a Schottky diode) conducts at approximately 0.6 volts. The germanium diode, however, conducts at a much lower voltage, typically 0.2 volts. This means that the germanium diode is better at small signal rectification applications, such as AM radio detectors, allowing a smaller tuner tank circuit.


What is the different between photo-diode and LED?

A Photo-diode is used to receive light. whereas the L.E.D. is a Light Emitting Diode.


Why the dynamic resistance of a zener diode different from its static resistance?

The dynamic resistance of a diode, be it zener or otherwise, will be different from its static resistance because a diode is not a resistor, and resistance is not a function of current flow. It is a diode, and a diode has its own characteristic voltage to current curve, forward and, in the case of a zener, reverse.


What is material made of a zener diode?

SILICON same as any other diode but with different characteristics


Why can't a conventional pn junction be used for high frequency switching applications?

If the reverse recovery time of the diode is too long for the operating frequency, the diode will never turn off.


Where is a diode used?

A diode is used as a rectifier, clipper and to get square wave form. The combination of diode (bridge) is used for full wave rectification. It also used as a voltage controlar. Different types of diodes have different uses in different appliences.
