What diode is used as voltage controlled capacitor?
It is called a varactor or a varicap diode. Its capacitance varies nonlinearly with the reverse voltage applied to its terminals.
Is it possible to observe the terminals of diode by observation?
yes, it is possible to observe the terminals of diode by observation. anode has black in color & kathode is colored with white.. white ring side is kathode..
What is the composition of typical diode?
The typical diode consist of terminals. Terminal A is anode negative, Terminal B is cathode bearing positive energy. An epoxy dome secures lead frame.
What are the two leads on a diode called?
The two leads on a diode are called the anode and the cathode.
What is the purpose of an cathode and an anode in a diode?
The cathode and anode are simply two terminals of a semi-conductor junction. In a normal diode, forward bias occurs when the anode is more positive than the cathode.
How do you define zener diode terminals?
two terminals
What diode is used as voltage controlled capacitor?

How many terminals does a diode have?
two, cathode & anode
Is it possible to observe the terminals of diode by observation?
yes, it is possible to observe the terminals of diode by observation. anode has black in color & kathode is colored with white.. white ring side is kathode..
What is the difference between potentiometer and light-sensitive diode?
potentiometer is not sensitive to lightpotentiometer has three terminals, diode has two
What is the definition of silicon diode?
A silicon diode is a tiny electronic component having two terminals, usually a switch or limiting device.
Why transition capacitance called so?
Transition capacitance is the capacitance that is accumulated between two terminals as an electrical charge is carried between them. In a diode, this is the diffusion from anode to cathode of a diode in forward bias mode.
What is impatt diode?
The read type diode are called impatt diode
Why is a diode called bidirectional?
Its not, a diode is unidirectional.
Can you use transistor as diode?
its the simplest thing to do. There are three legs in a transistor, one each of collector, base and emitter. So if you need to use it as a diode, just connect either collector-base or emitter-base. Say, if you use an NPN transistor, then the base region will be the anode of diode and emitter or collector will be the cathode of the diode.
How do you give a demo on the only diode?
Its a power full Semiconductor device now we have..It is having Two terminals
Why there is no current when two terminals of the diode are shorted?
There must be a break in the power supply elsewhere in the circuit. I suggest a blown fuse The only diode that generates electricity is a solar cell
