the importance of a diode in electronics is based on the fact that it can work as a semiconductor and it is used to allow power either way, forward or reverse.
To major more on its forward factor; we take Zenar diode as an example. it allows volts to pass through it blocking it from flowing on reverse.
This is the kind of principle used to make the solar panels, where the already saved voltage are not allowed to fall back, though in Zenar diode there is a slight fall back of up to 0.7volts, that is, if you have a voltage of 40.7 volts and it loses 0.7 volts, you will then be left with 40 volts. (40.7 - 0.7).
That is the sense behind the diode, where we have several different once including the LED (Light Emittimg Diode).
electronics
a device that conducts in only one direction
Diode
Yes, I am using one in my electronics class currently
It is a barrier-injection transit-time, a high frequency - semi - structural element of micro-electronics, as the diode is one of the electronic components.
It actually means Light Emitting Diode. I hoped i helped :)
Gunn Diodes are used in high frequency electronics. The advantages are increased efficiency and improved temperature stability while a disadvantage is the Gunn Diode can get burned out.
LED stand for Light Emitting Diode.
Diode is a Two terminal device which allows flow of curent in forward direction that means it converts DC to AC
The alternator diode rectifier converts the AC current being produced by the alternator to DC from which most of the electronics installed and battery use.

In1883 THOMAS EDISON discover the electron and it,s the begning of electronics after that FLEMING discover the diode and then DE FOREST discover the triode which is called transistor
