What is the purpose of the diode in the GM AC clutch circuit?

The purpose of the diode is to prevent electricity to flow in the wrong direction in a circuit. The purpose of the diode is to prevent electricity to flow in the wrong direction in a circuit.


Infinite resistance in one direction of Diode?

After isolating the diode from the circuit, the diode shows infinite resistance in one direction and low resistance in the other direction. The diode


Is a diode an insulator?

No. A diode conducts in one direction but not in the other.


If a diode is connected to a battery and a lamp what happens when the diode direction is reversed?

I diode allows current to flow in only one direction. Therefore, if a lamp is "on" in a DC circuit, and the diode in series with the lamp is reversed, the light will be turnned off due to the diode blocking current flow (unless the voltage is above the breakdown voltage of the diode - if this is the case, the diode will fail). If this is an AC circuit, every half cycle the diode will turn on, then the next half cycle it will turn off. To your eye, the bulb will most likely appear slightly dim due to this on then off cycling. If the diode is reversed, there will be no apparent change. The difference is the half cycle the diode would have been off before reversing, it will now be on, etc.


What is a device that only allows electricity to flow in one direction?

diode


What is the function of diode used in calculator?

A diode is a semiconductor device that allows current to flow in only one direction. Although there may be several reasons why there is a diode on a calculator PC board, a common reason would be to protect the device from a battery inserted in the wrong direction (if battery powered) or if an AC adapter is used, to make AC into DC current.


Is a diode useful after breakdown?

Yes diode is useful after break down because it flows current from one direction to other direction


What is a semiconductor device that allows electricity to flow in only one direction?

A "diode" will allow current to pass thru it in only one direction, provided you don't overload it.


What is the purpose is of a diode?

The purpose of a diode is to allow electric current to pass in one direction while blocking electric current in the opposite direction. It is for this reason that diode is usually referred as the check valve.


Why diode don't allow the current coming in opposite direction?

Diode is known as a rectifier because it only allows the current to flow in one direction. Diode is only effective when the input is AC.


What does diode mean in a science?

A diode is an electronic component with the characteristic that its resistance is not constant, but depends on the magnitude of the current through it. An ideal diode has zero resistance to current in one direction, and infinite resistance to current in the reverse direction.


Does a diode have polarity?

Yes, a diode inherently has polarity, as current is only allowed to flow one direction.
