A diode may be built for high levels of current and voltage. There are diodes for low current and voltages too. They allow the ac current to flow one way and block its return. The first diode that was built a long time ago by Sylvania Co. USA, was named IN34, and could stand only very low current.
Other name for that device is a rectifier. Ancient valve tubes for radios contained a diode inside which main function was to provide cc to feed the filament of a valve. This filament had the function of emitting electrons towards the plate of the valve.

What else can I help you with?
Why field effect transistor is called voltage controlled device?
A FET is just a material either N or P whereby a restriction is applied by a field volts impressed on the material as restricting the current flow or allow the current flow
What is the main function of diode?
the main function of the diode is to allow current to flow in just one direction and oppose the flow of current in negative direction.In short diode rectifies the current..
What is zenor and zener diode?
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.
How many paths for current flow are there in a three pole contactor would allow?
3
What is surface leakage current?
Undesired current flow across the surface of a semiconductor device due to contamination of that surface. This disturbs the operation of the device and causes a variety of failures. Insulators can also have surface leakage current for similar reasons.
Name device which permits direct current and opposes the flow of alternating current?
A device that permits direct current (DC) and opposes the flow of alternating current (AC) is a rectifier. Rectifiers are electronic components that only allow current to flow in one direction, which is common for converting AC to DC in power supplies and other applications.
How current are made?
You cause the current to flow through an electronic device that allows current to flow in one directionbut not in the other direction. Such a device is called a "diode" or a "rectifier".
What device is used to adjust the flow of electrical current?
A device used to adjust the flow of electrical current is called a resistor.
A switch is a device that stops and starts current flow in a circuit?
Yes, a switch is a device that stops and starts current flow in a circuit.
Why do you need conductor and insulator in electric circuit and device?
Conductors are needed to allow the flow of electric current within a circuit or device, as they offer low resistance to the flow of electrons. Insulators, on the other hand, are used to prevent the flow of electric current to unwanted areas and ensure the safety and proper functioning of the device by electrically isolating components. Both components work together to facilitate the efficient and safe operation of electric circuits and devices.
Did capacitor allow change in current?
capacitors allow ac current to flow.
Current will flow as long as the power supply is good and there's a power-control device true or false?
Current will flow as long as there is a difference of potential (a voltage) and a path for current to flow. So no power-control device is required for current flow but yes it will flow with a power control decive.
Why field effect transistor is called voltage controlled device?
A FET is just a material either N or P whereby a restriction is applied by a field volts impressed on the material as restricting the current flow or allow the current flow
Is a conductor necessary for electricity to flow?
Yes, a conductor is necessary for electricity to flow. Conductors are materials that allow the flow of electric current, while insulators do not allow the flow of electric current.
What is condutors insulator?
Conductors are materials that allow the flow of electrical current, such as metals. Insulators, on the other hand, are materials that do not allow the flow of electrical current, like rubber or plastic. Conductors have low resistance to the flow of electricity, while insulators have high resistance.
What is the device that resists the flow of electrical current?
resistor
What is the device used to control the flow of electrical current located on the motherboard?
Resistors are used to control current flow.
