What does mean by reverse bias diode?
A A diode has two state either on [forward conduction .7 volts. Or reversed bias meaning the diode voltage polarity are revered or cut off, depends on the diode but it will leak some current , Anyhow that is reversed bias diode conditionForward conduction voltage can vary between about 0.6 volts and about 1.4 volts depending on the diode and the current. Also, some diodes, such as zener diodes, will conduct in the reverse direction. Reverse bias is simply where the anode is more negative than the cathode.
How do you calculate the maximum power dissipated in diode?
The power dissipated by a diode is P = Vf x I watts, where Vf is the forward voltage drop on diode (typically 0.5 volts for silicon diode) and I is the current.
What is the zener region?
The zener region describes the area on the performance curve (a graph of voltage across versus current through the junction) of a zener diode. The diode acts like a "regular" diode in the forward biased direction. When some 0.7 volts or so is reached, forward current begins to climb rapidly as voltage is increased (for silicon diodes.) But in the reverse direction recall that as the diode is reverse biased, a small amount of current will flow (because of minority carriers). This "trickle" of current will continue until the "zener voltage" is reached, and then the diode will begin to conduct heavily. On the graph, this is the zener region. Zener diodes can be made to breakdown at a specific voltage, and their ability to conduct reverse current can be increased by manufacturing a larger diode. That means there are a range of voltages and wattages of zener diodes available. Wikipedia has more information and that graph. Use the link provided to get there.
What is the importance of the reverse-to-forward resistance ratio of a diode?
to determine the comparison of resistance value of both forward and reverse diode . The more the resistance the lower the current , the lower the resistance the higher the current . When reverse bias , the resistance is high and it acts in open circuit and the reverse current is very small that can be neglected . When forward bias , the resistance is low and it acts as short circuit and the forward current is increasing as the voltage supply is higher .
What is more referred to use si diode or a ge diode?
silicon diode is preferred more when compared with germanium diode because in silicon diode the operating voltage is 0.7v where as in germanium diode the operating voltage is 0.3v , germanium is temperature sensitive so it can be easily destroyed by increasing temperature hence silicon diode is preferred more
How does a diode shorted?
due to high voltage across the diode ie more than piv of the diode or current flows more than maximum allowed range of diode.
What is the difference between electric diode and electronic diode?
Not sure of your context. A diode is a diode. One artificial distinction might be that an electric diode refers to a diode used in a higher power application with more current where an electronic diode might be found on a circuit board as part of an electronic lower power application.
Is forward voltage drop of schottky diode more than tunnel diode?
Yes, the forward voltage drop of a Schottky diode is usually more than the forward voltage drop of a tunnel diode. A Schottky diode voltage drop is between approximately 0.15 to 0.45 volt. The interesting thing that makes a tunnel diode different from other diodes is its "negative resistance region" with a "peak current" around 0.06 volt and a "valley current" around 0.30 volt.
Which diode should be used in a circuit for more then 2 amp current?
A diode that is rated for more than 2 amps.You also have to consider the expected reverse voltage breakdown voltage.
Is the banded end of a diode positive or negative?
The Banded end of diode represents Cathode.If you want the diode to be forward biased then the Cathode is made more negative than Anode.For reverse biasing of Diode (Zener Diode) The Cathode is kept positive.However the mail carrier of current in the Cathode is Electrons which are negative.
How to identify the anode and cathode of DR 25 diode?
The cathode of a diode is usually indicated with a band. In the absence of the band, consult the datasheet. Alternatively, use an ohmmeter that generates more than 0.7 volts at low current (a diode checker) and check conductance. The diode will conduct when the anode is more positive than the cathode.
What will be the result if silicon diode is replaced by the germinium diode?
The built is voltage would be lower than silicon diode,more leakage or reverse saturation current,poor thermal stability,high noise and greater conduction in comparison to silicon diodes.
What does mean by reverse bias diode?

Also, some diodes, such as zener diodes, will conduct in the reverse direction. Reverse bias is simply where the anode is more negative than the cathode.
What is the difference between diode and resistors?
the resistance of a diode is .4 ohms is made of tantalum or .7 ohms if made of silicon. ANSWER: THE RESISTANCE OF A DIODE IS SIMPLY V/I the impedance however is defines by Boltzmann constant
What diode is the equivalent to an S210?
The S210 is a Schottky barrier rectifier diode with a voltage rating of 20V and a current rating of 10A. An equivalent diode would be the 1N5817, which has similar specifications, including a maximum reverse voltage of 20V and a forward current rating of 1A. However, for applications requiring higher current, the 1N5820, rated for 40V and 3A, could be considered as a more robust alternative. Always ensure to check the specific application requirements before selecting an equivalent diode.
What will happen if the supply voltage polarity is reveresed for the case of using a diode with piv of 4.8 volt?
If we give more than 4.8 volt to a diode in reverse bias condition it will break down or destroyed.
How do you calculate the voltage across each diode and load resistor in a bridge diode configuration?
Assuming that at one time a positive potential exists on a anode then assign a [+] to that point follow this procedure for all diodes and resistors. You can calculate Boltzmann impedance of a diode but industry wise a .6v to.8v is standard practice for a diode drop since it follow an exponential curve. .6 volts is for low current and .8volts is for more current
