What will happen if current is more than required in diode?

If the applied voltage is greater than maximum forward voltage, the diode will get damaged..


What happens in the circuit when a1N4001 diode experiences its breakdown voltage of 50V?

If a diode breaks down in the reverse direction then, providing there is current-limiting resistance, nothing will happen to the diode. If there is no such current-limiting resistance the diode will be destroyed. Heat is the only enemy of a semiconductor of this type.


What will happen when a dc source is used in front of a diode in half wave rectifier?

If the DC source biases the diode off, then the output will be zero. If it biases the diode on, then the output will be DC, with the voltage being nearly the same as the input voltage.


What will happen if you double the voltage across a diode?

basically a diode flows an exponential curve Vs current if you try to double the voltage drop by increasing the voltage it should self destruct


What will happen if the supply voltage polarity is reveresed for the case of using a diode with piv of 4.8 volt?

If we give more than 4.8 volt to a diode in reverse bias condition it will break down or destroyed.
