When varactor diode is reverse biased then the neutral region between P and N layer increases. When reverse biasing decreases then the neutral region also decreases.
No. An ordinary diode, be it silicon or germanium, conducts in one direction only, whereas a zener diode conducts in both directions, but at different voltages. An ordinary diode is used to rectify, using its forward bias characteristics, while a zener diode is used to regulate, using its reverse bias characteristics.
yes diode can be used as a switch as it conducts current in only one direction.it is a open switch when it reverse biased.and as aclosed switch when it is forward biased.but we consider diode as ideal .
Like a normal diode............. unless it includes a "back biased" diode to prevent conduction in this mode as is common in zener diodes rated at about 10 volts or more, then it acts as an open circuit.
A failed diode electrically resembles a switch. Whether it resembles an open switch or a closed one depends on the specific mode in which it failed. But a bad diode won't behave like a diode any more.
zener diode :zener diode operates under reverse bias voltageideal diode :ideal diode operates under forward bias voltage
diode does not work on zero bias
a way of diode modelling in which diode just work as an energy source in the circuit
No a diode will not work when the ignition key is off.
photo diode donot work for long distance photo diode act as a receiver
L.E.D. Stands for Light Emitting Diode so it is a Diode that makes light...
A: Actually a transistor have two diode with the base mas a common terminal. the characteristics of these tow diodes however are not the same as a common diode
Diode is made of P and N type semiconductors having PN junction. The question is meanigless.

A diode is a one-way gate for electrical current to flow through. You must have the right size diode for the amount of current that will be used in your circuit. The stripe on the diode is your output end. That is, the current must enter your diode at the non-stripe end and leave at the end with the stripe. This coincides with the diode symbol used on your schematic. If your diode is in backwards, the circuit will not work as the gate in the diode will block the current just the way it should.
diode conducts in forward bias.so it is on switch. in reveres bias it will not conduct.so it is off switch
yes diode can be used as a switch as it conducts current in only one direction.it is a open switch when it reverse biased.and as aclosed switch when it is forward biased.but we consider diode as ideal .
A: Believe it or not that is the only time that it is useful
