What is the voltage drop in diode IN4007?
forward drop is the same as any other silicon diode, about 0.7V
What is the highest forward current in the diode 1N4007 and 1N5002?
maximum forward current in diode IN4007 is 30 amp
What happens if a silicon diode measures high value of resistance with the meter leads in both positions?
If the meter is developing more than the necessary forward breakdown voltage of the diode, typically 0.7 volts, then the diode is bad. However, some meters do not generate enough voltage in resistance mode to bias the diode on, unless you flip a switch that enables diode test mode. Use another meter at the same time to measure the voltage across the diode and compare that with the diode's published forward breakdown voltage.
What is V-I characteristics of zener diode?
Work in reverse bias.(breakdown at a particular voltage to keep the volt. constant so used as voltage regulator) same as diode when forward biased.
What is the breakdown voltage of 1N4007 diode?
The reverse breakdown voltage of the 1N4007 diode is 1000 volts.

Are diode forward and zener voltages the same?
A: Both diodes have the same curve in the forward direction however if the zener voltage is reverse it will breakdown at a particular voltage and remain conducting at the voltage. A regular diode will not do that the to voltage will fold back after breakdown to any voltage
How are power diode classified?
by reverse breakdown voltage & forward current capacity
What happend when a diode is forward biased?
The diode conducts at its forward breakdown voltage. Depending on the current, and the type of diode, the voltage could be anywhere between 0.2 and 3.5 volts, with a nominal silicon range of 0.7 to 1.4.
What is Meaning of diode rating?
There are two diode ratings. One is the forward current rating, and the other is the reverse breakdown voltage rating. The forward current rating is the maximum current that the diode can conduct before failing, and the reverse breakdown voltage rating is the maximum reverse voltage that can be applied before failing. Of course, the reverse voltage rating has a different meaning in a zener diode, but this answer applies to ordinary diodes.

What does it means when we say-diode is specially designed to operate under reverse bias in breakdown region?
You are talking about a special type of diode called a zener diode which is designed, using special junction doping, to allow controllable reverse bias operation at a reduced breakdown voltage with a much sharper knee point curve than its normal forward breakdown curve. This allows the diode to be used as a voltage regulator. Normally, a diode's reverse breakdown curve is such that, at reverse breakdown, it avalanches and, without current limits in place, will self destruct. The zener diode, on the other hand, will operate in reverse much the same as it does in forward, just at a different voltage, and with a much sharper current to voltage curve, making it highly suitable as a voltage regulator.
What is the forward biased knee voltage for a 1n4001 silicon diode?
A; The 1N4xxx series of rectifier diodes are specified as 1 amp forward conduction. the last number signify the maxi mun reverse voltage it can sustain without breakdown.
What is zener break down voltage?
The point in the forward operating region of the characteristic curve where conduction starts to increase rapidly is called Knee voltage of a PN Junction Diode.The breakdown voltage of a diode is the minimum reverse voltage to make the diode conduct in reverse.(or) Breakdown voltage is a parameter of a diode that defines the largest reverse voltage that can be applied without causing an exponential increase in the current in the diode.-- Dinakar
What is the breakdown voltage of 1N4007 diode?
The reverse breakdown voltage of the 1N4007 diode is 1000 volts.
