A diode can only be biased in one direction at a time. It is either forward biased, in which case it conducts, or it is reverse biased in which case it does not, unless its reverse breakdown voltage has been reached.
Perhaps you are thinking of a half-wave rectifier, where only one diode is used to conduct on alternate half-cycles of the AC input?
What else can I help you with?
How is zener diode different from a conventional diode or ideal diode?
zener diode :zener diode operates under reverse bias voltageideal diode :ideal diode operates under forward bias voltage
Can a diode be used as rectifier diode?
yes, diode can be used as rectifier diode to convert ac to dc
What is impatt diode?
The read type diode are called impatt diode
What is the function of diode what is the function of diode?
A diode is used primarily as a Rectifier

Where is a Mercedes w124 diode?
Diode for what?
What is the difference between an ideal zener diode and practical zener diode?
Zener diode is heavily doped pn junction diode.
Difference between gunn diode and pin diode?
gunn diode is transfered electron device & PIN diode is semiconductor device
What is a real diode?
whether we know that p-n diode is real diode. But still in case of semeconductor we see then silics is real diode.
