What else can I help you with?
How do you determine the anode and a cathode of a diode by multimeter?
A: ascertain the polarity of the ohmmeter leads as + - potential available then set the scale to kilo ohms and see if the reading is hi [ is the + lead is + then that imply that the diode is + to the cathode] therefore is not conducting. reverse the diode and the reading should be low implying anode is positive and the diode is conducting
What happens if one of the four diodes in s bridge rectifier is reverse?
four diodes
In what region of their characteristic curve are zener diodes operated?
Zener diodes are normally operated in their reverse breakdown voltage curve.
How could unmarked diodes have its cathode leads identified using an ohmmeter?
Assuming the red lead of the ohmmeter is more positive than the black lead, then checking the impedance of the diode with the ohmmeter, in both directions, will identify the cathode as the black lead when the measured impedance is low. This, however, will only work if the voltage developed by the ohmmeter is greater than the forward bias voltage of the diode, typically 0.7 volts.
Which diodes has a characteristic curve with both a forward and a reverse breakover?
Schottky

What is reverse resistance?
Reverse resistance refers to the opposition to the flow of electric current in the reverse direction within a semiconductor device, such as a diode or transistor. In these devices, reverse resistance is typically much higher than forward resistance, allowing current to flow primarily in one direction. This characteristic is crucial for the functionality of components like diodes, which are designed to block current flow when reverse-biased. High reverse resistance helps prevent unwanted current leakage, ensuring efficient operation in electronic circuits.
Do diodes have resistance?
Yes, diodes have resistance, but it is typically low compared to other components like resistors. The resistance in a diode is non-linear and varies with the voltage applied across it.
What happens if one of the four diodes in s bridge rectifier is reverse?
four diodes
What is the behavior of a forward and reverse biased diode?
Forward Resistance:def: It is resistance offered by diode to the forward bias is known as forward resistance.This resistance is not the same for the flow of DC as for the changing current. Accordingly this resistance is of two types :1. DC FORWARD RESISTANCE.2. AC FORWARD RESISTANCE.1. DC forward resistance: It is the opposition by diode to the DC. It is measured by the ratio of DC voltages across the diode to the resulting DC current through it.2. AC forward resistance: It is the opposition offered by the diode to the changing current. It is measured by the ratio of change in voltage across diodes to the resulting change in current through diode. The AC forward resistance is more significant as the diodes are generally used with alternating voltage.Reverse Resistance:def: The resistance offered by the diode to the reverse bias is known as Reverse Resistance. It can be DC reverse resistance or AC reverse resistance depending upon whether the reverse bias is direct or changing voltage. Idealy the reverse resistance of a diode is infinte however in practice the reverse resistance is not infinite because for any value of reverse bias, there does exist a small leakage current. It may be emphasized their that reverse resistance is very large compared to the forward resistance.These Definitions are from PRINCIPLES OF ELECTRONICS by V.K MEHTA and ROHIT MEHTA

What is the typical bulk resistance of rectifier diodes?

Difference between zener diode and junction diode?
Zener diodes and ordinary junction diodes are similar, except that zener diodes have additional doping to bring their reverse breakdown voltage into a more usable value, and to allow them to not destructively avalanche when they do conduct in the reverse direction.

Assuming the red lead of the ohmmeter is more positive than the black lead, then checking the impedance of the diode with the ohmmeter, in both directions, will identify the cathode as the black lead when the measured impedance is low. This, however, will only work if the voltage developed by the ohmmeter is greater than the forward bias voltage of the diode, typically 0.7 volts.
Which diodes has a characteristic curve with both a forward and a reverse breakover?
Schottky
What are the factors that affect the difference between the computed values and measured values?
-- rounding errors in computation -- non-ideal components, such as diodes with finite reverse resistance, inductors with resistance, power supplies with non-zero internal impedance, wire with inductance, etc.
How do you Test Schottky Barrier Diodes?
Set analogue multimeter to x 10 k ohm. Place the red probe to the cathode and the black probe to anode and you will get a low ohm reading. Now, reverse the probe and you will get some leakage reading. That leaking reading is what tells you this is a Schottky Barrier Diode.
