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.

How do you check a diode?

the diode will have two polarities anode and cathode .take multimeter and set it in buzer mode or resistance mode and connect the positive terminal of multimeter to anode of diode and negative to the cathode the multimeter shows the resistance say 500-700ohms if it working and doesn't show any impedance i.e, very high impedance in reverse bias i.e, by connecting the positive terminal of multimeter to cathode of diode and negative terminal to anode,and in no working condition it shows same characteristics as in reverse bias connected. the simple way of checking diode is connect the 2v led in series with the diode to the battery of 3v the led will glow if the diode is connected in forward bias in circuit and it doesn't glow if the diode is connected in reverse bias in circuit /diode is damaged . A: a diode will conduct from cathode [negative ] to anode [positive] A stripe at one end is the cathode or a stripe on the arrow is the cathode. By applying the proper voltage it will conduct and show low resistance and a voltage from .6v to .7v. Reversing the lead it will show relatively hi resistance.
