as diode allows current to flow only in one direction . it is highly used in the conversion ac to dc power supply as in chargers, voltage converters... also used in circuit isolation, as it does not work in reverse biased mode.

Can you parallel schottky diodes?
according to Texas Instruments it is a good practice to use multiple schottky diodes in parallel.
Is transistor a rectifier?
there are two diodes there but to use them as rectifiers never
Why dont we get the transister action by connecting two diodes back to back?
Because two diodes is not a transistor. There is an interaction between the junctions in the transistor, because of their proximity, that you don't get in the two diodes. The only use of modeling a transistor as two diodes back to back is to test a transistor with a multimeter as a quick go-nogo test for basic operability.
What is the difference between series and parallel diodes?
Connecting diodes in series:Connecting diodes in series will increase the forward voltage of the resultant diode.Connecting diodes in series will cause an open circuit until peak inverse voltage (smallest diode) is applied on total resultant.Connecting diodes in parallel:Connecting diodes in parallel will increase the current carrying capacity of the diode.Connecting diodes in parallel will not get you a resultant diode conduction in both sides.
Why not gate is not possible using diodes?
Diodes cannot invert, a required part of the not operation.
How many diodes used alternator for Chevy?
There are 3 positive diodes and 3 negative diodes. The alternator produces AC voltage in 3 phase. Almost all car manufacturers import and domestic use 6 diodes. Diodes can be defective as either "open" or "shorted". An open diode reduces capacity of an alternator while a shorted diode causes almost no charging.

Use of p-n type material?
Diodes.

Why to use four diodes when two diodes also can serve the purpose in bridge rectifier?
Four diode rectifier not require a center tapped transformer.
What is domestic use?
domestic use is a use which is used for the domestic uses like at agricultere, homes and fields
How many diodes does a center -tap type rectifier use?
Two
What are the major classification of diodes?
1. general purpose diodes 2. fast recovery diodes 3. schottky diodes
What are examples of diodes?
There are so many different types of diodes. Some of the common examples include light emitting diodes, silicon diodes, zener diodes and so many more.
Are diodes rectifiers?
No. Diodes are diodes. One diode can be USED as a half-wave rectifier. Four diodes can be used to build a bridge rectifier.
What use for diode?
diodes are to let a current flow in one direction and not the other
What is the use of diodes in doubler voltage?
A: The purpose it to block the capacitor from discharging to the source
