It is an electronic's device which allow the passes of current in unidirection or only dc.It is used to convert ac to dc.

When do you kmow that the diode is working?

A diode is working when it allows current to flow in one direction (forward bias) while blocking it in the opposite direction (reverse bias). You can test its functionality using a multimeter set to the diode testing mode; a good diode will show a voltage drop (typically around 0.6 to 0.7 volts for silicon diodes) in one direction and display no conduction in the reverse direction. If it conducts in both directions or shows no conduction at all, it may be faulty.


Explain the working principal of diode with diagram?

A diode when forward biased will allow the flow of current while reverse biasing will cut off the flow of current. It is the basic building block of any semiconductor.

LED stands for light emitting diode. If it is polarized correctly, and working correctly, it will be emitting light. If it is burnt out, or voltage has been applied backwards to it, it will not.
