it points in the direction of flowing current due to majority carriers...

that is from positive side to negative side

What is symbols of zener diode?

Usual symbol for diode is with a triangle - looking as an arrow hinged with a vertical line. Arrow head stands for anode for diode and line stands for its cathode. To give the symbol for zener diode we simply replace the vertical line by letter Z which also symbolizes the first designer 'Zener'


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


Show a symbol of led?

A common symbol for a light-emitting diode (LED) in circuit diagrams is a triangle pointing to a line, where the triangle represents the anode (positive side) and the line represents the cathode (negative side). Additionally, the symbol may be accompanied by the letters "LED" to indicate its specific function as a light source. In some cases, the symbol may also include arrows indicating the emission of light.


Does a diode have polarity?

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


What is the symbol of a diode?

The letter used is called a Reference Designation, and for a diode sometimes depends on what kind of diode it is. Most diodes use the letter D, as in D1, D2, D3. Zener diodes usually use the letter Z or much more rarely ZR or ZD (Zener Rectifier or Zener Diode). CR is an archaic designation that stands for Crystal Rectifier. LEDs may use LED1, LED2, etc. or just D1, D2, etc. A bridge rectifier (four diodes connected so AC fed into two leads results in pulsating DC from two other leads) uses BR for obvious reasons. AE7HD The letter symbol for the diode is D.

What does the symbol for a diode look like?

Diode symbols look like open triangles with horizontal lines extending from either side. There will be a vertical line at the tip of the triangle that may have turned ends depending upon the type of diode.

Is a diode an insulator?

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


What is the symbol for a light emitting diode?

The same as the standard symbol for a diode but with a lightning bolt shaped arrow pointing away from it added.


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

diode


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 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.


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 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.
