Why diode is called diode?
diode:= di+ iode di means two,and iode means terminal,,,, diode is two terminal device i.e anode and cathode
When performing a diode test is necessary to?
A diode should show low resistance with the leads hooked one way and show an open with the leads reversed
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.
Why is a diode called unidirectional?
A diode is unidirectional because of the diode only conduct in forwardbias .As you know the diode have two terminal cathode and anode . and when the positive terminal of battery connected to the p-side and other terminal connected to the other terminal of diode then diode is called forward biased . and when it connection is just opposite then it become in reverse biased . so we can finally say that the diode is unidirectional
What are the two bias conditions for a diode?
The two bias conditions for a diode are forward and reverse

What material is a diode made of?
A semiconductor diode is made of two semiconductore mterials type "p" and type "n" fused together, these two are connected to two leads, the all that is encased in epoxy.
When performing a diode test is necessary to?
A diode should show low resistance with the leads hooked one way and show an open with the leads reversed
What is impatt diode?
The read type diode are called impatt diode
Why is a diode called bidirectional?
Its not, a diode is unidirectional.

What is the term for an electronic component composed of two layers a semiconductor material?
An electronic component composed of two layers of a semiconductor material is a diode.
What are the two bias conditions for a diode?
The two bias conditions for a diode are forward and reverse
What are two types of diode?
Light Emitting Diode (LED) & the Avalanche Diode. These are two types of diodes ,but there are more
Is a light emitting diode called a light emitting diode if its not on?
YES
When diode is connected to ohmmeter What happens?
A: Depends on meter leads voltage polarity and the diode itself orientation to these polarity. One way is should show a low impedance + to anode Reverse the diode it should be hi impedance
