yes diode can be used as a switch as it conducts current in only one direction.it is a open switch when it reverse biased.and as aclosed switch when it is forward biased.but we consider diode as ideal .

How does a p-n junction diode work as a switch?

diode conducts in forward bias.so it is on switch. in reveres bias it will not conduct.so it is off switch


What is a device made of semiconductor material that acts like a switch controlling the flow of electrons in a chip?

if a diode is in forward biased the diode acts as switch is on and when we apply the diode in reverse biased then it work as the switch as off.


Will bad diodes work?

A failed diode electrically resembles a switch. Whether it resembles an open switch or a closed one depends on the specific mode in which it failed. But a bad diode won't behave like a diode any more.

How does pn junction diode can be used as an electronic switch?

A diode allows current to flow in only one direction. If the current is flowing, the diode has a low resistance and it behaves like a wire or a switch in the on position. If the voltage across the diode is reversed, no current flows and the diode has a very high resistance. It behaves like a switch in the off position. DC voltages are used to switch the diode on or off. The signal that is being switched is usually an AC audio or radio signal. Capacitors block DC but pass AC signals. By combining diodes and capacitors, the AC and DC signals are kept separate and the switch can be built.
