The effect of diode voltage drop as the output voltage is that the input voltage will not be totally transferred to the output because power loss in the diode .
The output voltage will then be given by:
vout=(vin)-(the diode voltage drop).

Why are silicon diodes not suited for low voltage rectifiers?
Silicon diodes ARE used in reverse bias. This is the mode in which they do not conduct, which is the principal role of a diode. When forward biased, a silicon diode will conduct but has a voltage drop of around 0.6v so is not useful for rectifying small voltages (unless used as a perfect diode with an op amp).
What will be the voltage drop when diode and resistance are used in series in a circuit?
voltage drop deviding accure
Why an op-amp diode rectifier called as a precision rectifier?
In a rectifier made of just diodes, the diodes have a voltage drop, resulting in a lower DC output voltage. By introducing an Op-amp, this voltage drop can be overcome. Since there is no voltage drop caused by the diodes, the rectified signal is not changed by the rectifier, so it is called a precision rectifier.
What is a substitute for a germanium diode?
There is no exact substitute for a germanium diode, except another germanium diode. However if the only concern is to get a lower forward voltage drop than that of a silicon diode (0.7V), then a schottky barrier diode may be a suitable replacement as its forward voltage drop (<0.1V) is even lower than that of a germanium diode (0.2V).
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
How does the cut in voltage effects the output of a diode clipper?
For answering this question we have to consider the constant voltage drop model of the diode which says that if voltage across diode is less then its cut in voltage than assume diode to be open circuit and if it is greater then assume diode to be short circuit.Till the input voltage is less than the cut in voltage, diode is open circuit(thus no current through the circuit). Thus entire input voltage appears across the diode as output.When input voltage is greater than or equal to cut in voltage, then short circuit the diode. Thus, there will be no voltage drop across the diode as output.Thus cut in voltage decides when to consider the diode open circuit and when short circuit. It decides when the diode will have output when it will not.

Does a full-wave bridge rectifier results in a full secondary volatge at the output?
No. The voltage at the output is the full secondary voltage minus two diode forward bias drops. Depending on current and the specifications of the diode, this total drop could be between 1.5 and 4 volts.
What is the voltage drop in diode IN4007?
forward drop is the same as any other silicon diode, about 0.7V

What value resistor and diode would you need to drop voltage from 12 volts ac to 1.2 volts dc?
I'm not sure you understand what you're asking. A diode will have a voltage drop of ~.5-.7 volts. If you put a diode and resistor in series, the voltage across the diode will be .5 - .7 volts, and the voltage drop across the resistor will be (supply voltage - diode voltage drop). If you are trying to rectify to DC, you need at the least a half wave rectifier (two diodes), and some system to remove the ripple. The rectifier simply chops the AC waveform, so for the part of the supply sine wave that is ~.5 or less, the output of the rectifier will be zero. The top part of the sign wave will show up on the output of the rectifier, but will be slightly smaller (due to the voltage drop across the diode). You'll need to get ride of this rippling for true DC. One fairly easy way to do this is to use a zener diode. It will attempt to keep the voltage drop across it the same, so purchase a 1.2 volt zener diode. The problem with this is the zener diode will saturate if you have too heavy a load. What I've done on simple projects is to use a zener diode to bias the base to collector voltage of a transistor, with the emitter acting as the output (an NPN BJT usually). I also used a fairly large capacitor to help minimize the ripple as well, although this may not be necessary for you.
What is the difference of silicon diode and germanium diode?
A silicon diode has a voltage drop of approximately 0.7V, while a germanium diode has a voltage drop of approximately 0.3V. Though germanium diodes are better in the area of forward voltage drop, silicon diodes are cheaper to produce and have higher breakdown voltages and current capabilities.
Is forward voltage drop of schottky diode more than tunnel diode?
Yes, the forward voltage drop of a Schottky diode is usually more than the forward voltage drop of a tunnel diode. A Schottky diode voltage drop is between approximately 0.15 to 0.45 volt. The interesting thing that makes a tunnel diode different from other diodes is its "negative resistance region" with a "peak current" around 0.06 volt and a "valley current" around 0.30 volt.
When a diode is properly forward biased what is the voltage drop across it equal to?
The forward biased voltage drop of a diode depends on the type of diode and the current through the diode. A typical silicon diode will exhibit a voltage drop between 0.6v and 1.4v depending on current. An LED might range from 2v to 3v. A germanium diode might go a low as 0.2v. Bottom line; it varies.
