How is zener diode different from a conventional diode or ideal diode?

zener diode :zener diode operates under reverse bias voltageideal diode :ideal diode operates under forward bias voltage


Why the dynamic resistance of a zener diode different from its static resistance?

The dynamic resistance of a diode, be it zener or otherwise, will be different from its static resistance because a diode is not a resistor, and resistance is not a function of current flow. It is a diode, and a diode has its own characteristic voltage to current curve, forward and, in the case of a zener, reverse.


What are some practical uses of diodes?

Diodes are largely used for changing AC into DC. A half wave diode bridge will use two diodes for this purpose. A full wave bridge uses four diodes to accomplish this task.See related links below.


How could you measure ripple frequency to determine if a diode were open in a bridge rectifier circuit?

Measuring ripple frequency would determine if a diode were open in a bridge rectifier circuit because the ripple frequency is normally twice the input frequency in a functioning full wave bridge rectifier. If one diode were open, the ripple frequency would only be the input frequency. Note: This is true for single phase or bi-phase operation. Three phase operation is more complex, but still doable - You would expect three times input frequency in normal state, and two times (asymmetric) with one open diode.


Difference between 4 diodes and 2 diodes rectifier?

a 2 diode rectifier is a center tap rectifier an a 4 diode rectifier will be a bridge rectifier *********************************************************** A two-diode rectifier is not always a centre-tap rectifier. If the two diodes are connected to the same end of a transformer's secondary, one by its anode and one by its cathode, one will proved a positive voltage with respect to trhe other end of the winding and the other will provide a negative voltage. (But perhaps that isn't considered a two-diode rectifier - but a two single-diode ones.)

Why balanced modulator is called balanced modulator?

the output from a balanced modulator consists of modulating freq also. this can be eliminated in a diode modulator by adding two more diodes, making a diode ring. therefore called ring modulator

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.


Difference between varactor modulator and reactance modulator?

A varactor modulator uses a varactor diode, which changes its capacitance with varying voltage, to modulate signals, typically in frequency modulation applications. In contrast, a reactance modulator alters the reactance of a circuit using various components (like capacitors or inductors) to achieve modulation, often in amplitude modulation schemes. While both techniques modify the reactive properties of a circuit to achieve modulation, the varactor modulator specifically relies on the tunable capacitance of the varactor diode for its operation.

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.
