What is true about diodes?

Lots of things are true about diodes. There are different types of diodes; their general characteristic is that they have two electrodes (electrical contacts). They conduct current in one direction only.


What types of diodes are used in high frequencies?

Two types used at microwave frequencies are gunn and PIN diodes.


What are the classifications of diodes?

a diode is a device that alows current to flow in one direction you have power diodes which are used in rectification processes and high current operations but the two main families of diodes are solid state diodes or valve operated diodes.


Are diodes only used in a dc circuit?

There are lots of diodes - a "diode" is simply a device that has two electrical connections.If you refer specifically to the rectifying diode, it is used to convert AC current to DC current - so, it is used in a circuit that has BOTH AC and DC.


How many type of diode?

There are many types of diodes that are used for different functions in electronics. The most common types include the laser diodes and the light emitting diodes (LED).


Why current flows in reverse bias in special types of diodes?

due to minority carriers


What electronics are diodes used in?

in order to let the current pass in one direction.


What type of diodes are used in bridge rectifier?

Mainly diodes that handle a fair amount of power. When diodes are constructed in a "bridge", it usually means someone is trying to rectify AC to DC voltage in what is considered a "full wave". Both sides of the sine wave + and - are utilized to change the AC current into DC. Typically power diodes are used in this fashion. Crystal diodes or other types will not work in a bridge circuit as they cannot handle the amperage or wattage that typically is wanted. Power diodes are usually ones that handle 1 amp or more of current. Some power diodes can handle 60 amps or more if properly constructed in a heat sink dependent upon their ratings.


What is automobile alternator?

Automobile alternator is used to supply the A.C current to the vehicles but the vehicles need D.C current so there is an diodes and rectifier to convert the A.C current into D.C current Automobile alternator is used to supply the A.C current to the vehicles but the vehicles need D.C current so there is an diodes and rectifier to convert the A.C current into D.C current Automobile alternator is used to supply the A.C current to the vehicles but the vehicles need D.C current so there is an diodes and rectifier to convert the A.C current into D.C current Automobile alternator is used to supply the A.C current to the vehicles but the vehicles need D.C current so there is an diodes and rectifier to convert the A.C current into D.C current Automobile alternator is used to supply the A.C current to the vehicles but the vehicles need D.C current so there is an diodes and rectifier to convert the A.C current into D.C current

What are the different types of silicon diodes?

Silicone diodes are a specific type of diode. There are not any different types of silicone diodes to choose from.


What are special purpose diodes?

Special diode does special function. Diodes are originally used to rectify ac current into dc current . Other versions of diodes are constructed in a similar way using the same principles but their function is not rectification such as light emmision diode
