For answering this question we have to consider the constant voltage drop model of the diode which says that if voltage across diode is less then its cut in voltage than assume diode to be open circuit and if it is greater then assume diode to be short circuit.
Till the input voltage is less than the cut in voltage, diode is open circuit(thus no current through the circuit). Thus entire input voltage appears across the diode as output.
When input voltage is greater than or equal to cut in voltage, then short circuit the diode. Thus, there will be no voltage drop across the diode as output.
Thus cut in voltage decides when to consider the diode open circuit and when short circuit. It decides when the diode will have output when it will not.

What effect does an open diode have on the output voltage of a half wave rectifier and on a full wave rectifier?
An open diode will result in no output from a half wave rectifier, and an open diode will cut the output of a full wave rectifier in half.
What is diode ripple?
In a switching DC-DC voltage converter, the oscillatory nature of the switching circuit generates a small "ripple" effect in the output voltage which is supposed to be minimized via careful design of the overall circuit. The output current of this type of converter typically flows through a diode into the rest of the system. The voltage measured at the cathode of this diode will exhibit the aforementioned ripple.
Which electrical voltage value does a dmm output when in diode test mode?
When testing a diode with dmm in diode test mode 0.6v is delivered through the device to indicate continuity
Why a normal diode in forward biased condition is not used as voltage regulator?
Because the voltage/current curve is not as steep as we would like and because the diode is too sensitive to thermal effects in this area.
What happens to the load if reverse the polarity of diode?
if you reverse the diode in a half wave rectifier, you would expect the A- Ripple to increase B- output to be less filtered C- out put polarity to be reversed D- output voltage to decrease
What is the effect of diode voltage drop as the output voltage?
The effect of diode voltage drop as the output voltage is that the input voltage will not be totally transferred to the output because power loss in the diode . The output voltage will then be given by: vout=(vin)-(the diode voltage drop).
What will happen when a dc source is used in front of a diode in half wave rectifier?
If the DC source biases the diode off, then the output will be zero. If it biases the diode on, then the output will be DC, with the voltage being nearly the same as the input voltage.

How do you test a diode bridge?
How to test a diode bridge ? Diode bridge is a device is used to convert an AC signals (say AC voltage) to DC output (say DC voltage). So, to test it, you can apply a AC voltage v = Vm Sin (wt) at its 2 inputs and measure DC output voltage Vdc.
What effect does an open diode have on the output voltage of a half wave rectifier and on a full wave rectifier?
An open diode will result in no output from a half wave rectifier, and an open diode will cut the output of a full wave rectifier in half.
What happens with voltage and current by damaged diode...the diode is IN5408?
It depends on how the diode is damaged. There are generally two cases. One, the diode is shorted, and conducts with a low impedance in both directions. The other, the diode is open, and does not conduct, having a high impedance, in both directions. The effect depends on the particular circuit. In a power supply, a shorted diode will often blow the fuse, while an open diode will result in no output, or in high ripple voltage output. Is it possible that diode has normal voltage output but wrong current,meaning low mA?
What is the purpose of a zener diode when placed near the output in a common power suplly?
The purpose of a zener diode connected at the output of a common supply is to stabilize the output voltage in case a load is connected to it.
How does clipping circuits work in lab?
A clipping circuit works by the switching action of a diode when it is used in a circuit with a source voltage that changes polarity. In the forward direction, the diode's voltage is added to any dc value that is in series with it. If the source voltage is greater than the dc value at a particular instance, the diode will limit the output to the dc value. Otherwise the output voltage will equal the input voltage.
How does a zener diode maintain constant output voltage?
sharp reverse breakdown function
Is zener diode a voltage amplifier or currentlimitig circuit or osilator circuit?
The zener diode is neither a voltage amplifier nor a current limiting device but can be used in oscillator circuits to supply a constant output voltage.
How does a diode clips the wave when it is forward biased in clipper circuits?
A diode only allows current to flow in one direction. When the voltage exceeds 0.6 volts it will not allow more voltage to flow. Putting two diodes cathode to anode would limit the voltage both ways.
Where is a diode used?
A diode is used as a rectifier, clipper and to get square wave form. The combination of diode (bridge) is used for full wave rectification. It also used as a voltage controlar. Different types of diodes have different uses in different appliences.
