I'm assuming it's a rectifier diode. (black with a grey line usually says 1n400... on it) Picture an arrow and flatten the point of it and that would be your line. So if you want to charge a battery then the line is going to be on the positive terminal, but if you are powering a circuit then the line would be on the opposite side of the positive. It gets confusing so remember the arrow. Hope this helps.
What else can I help you with?
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
What is meant by the threshold point of a diode?
it means the entrance point of a diode
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'
When a diode is properly forward biased what is the voltage drop across it equal to?
The forward biased voltage drop of a diode depends on the type of diode and the current through the diode. A typical silicon diode will exhibit a voltage drop between 0.6v and 1.4v depending on current. An LED might range from 2v to 3v. A germanium diode might go a low as 0.2v. Bottom line; it varies.
Who invented the led light bulb?
"Nick Holonyak, 75, invented the LED (light emitting diode) in the 1960s."
What is the symbol for diode?
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.

What is the significance of the diode load line in analyzing the operating point of a diode circuit?
The diode load line helps determine the operating point of a diode circuit by showing the possible combinations of voltage and current that the diode can have. This analysis is important for understanding how the diode will behave in the circuit and ensuring it operates within its specified parameters.

What is a line frequency power diode?
line Frequency diode have very low forward bias drops but their recovery characteristic(time) is very long. Their softness factor is low.
What is meant by IN4007 diode?
The 1 stands for number of semiconductor junctions The N means it's a semiconductor diode
What does forward bias on a diode means?
when the positive terminal of the battery is connected to the positive terminal of the diode it is said to be in forward bias
What does 'IN' in IN4001 means?
IN in IN4001 refers to the type of diode. The IN is a designation used by some manufacturers to indicate that it is an axial lead diode. The IN4001 is a commonly used diode in electronics, often used for rectifying AC signals in power supply circuits.
What is verector diode in electronics?
I think you you are asking about varactor diode. varactor means variable capacitor. varactor diode is a p-n junction diode which provide a capacitance across it subjected to applied forward and reverse bias. means it provide variable capacitance which depends on the applied reverse voltage(mostly varactor diode works on reverse voltage).They are also known as varicap
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.
What does the electronics term LED stand for?
It actually means Light Emitting Diode. I hoped i helped :)
