The 1N34 is a germanium signal diode, so it would be used as a detector/mixer in a.m. reception for example.
Roughly, 200m mV.
The use of the pn diode is for rectification. It can also be used as a switch.
no we not use resistance in place of diode.
Backward diode
Diode is a two terminal semicon. Diode is a Switching device
I suggest your local electronics parts jobber, or one of the mail order or internet electronics parts stores (e.g. Mouser, DigiKey, Jameco Electronics).
Example sentence - The little red diode can be used as a pin on a tie.
the diode is forward bias ANSWER: A bypass diode is used to bypass circuitry as soon as the diode is forward bias by 0.6 volts The use it to bypass to prevent damage to the circuitry
voltage regulation
silicon diode is preferred more when compared with germanium diode because in silicon diode the operating voltage is 0.7v where as in germanium diode the operating voltage is 0.3v , germanium is temperature sensitive so it can be easily destroyed by increasing temperature hence silicon diode is preferred more
scr is basically a three terminal device can be used as diode by leaving one terminal
To my own understanding, you will use multi-meter to test for the polarity
