it points in the direction of flowing current due to majority carriers...
that is from positive side to negative side
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'
After isolating the diode from the circuit, the diode shows infinite resistance in one direction and low resistance in the other direction. The diode
Yes, a diode inherently has polarity, as current is only allowed to flow one direction.
Zenor diode is allow to flow current in forward direction and it can also allow current in reverse direction when the voltage is above the certain value.
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.

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.
After isolating the diode from the circuit, the diode shows infinite resistance in one direction and low resistance in the other direction. The diode
No. A diode conducts in one direction but not in the other.
The same as the standard symbol for a diode but with a lightning bolt shaped arrow pointing away from it added.
diode
Yes diode is useful after break down because it flows current from one direction to other direction
A "diode" will allow current to pass thru it in only one direction, provided you don't overload it.
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.
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.
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.
The symbol for a diode is a horizontal line with an arrow pointing to an intersecting vertical line, the horizontal line continues on the other side of the vertical line.
