What is the purpose of the diode inside the relay?
If it is a light emitting diode it is there to let you know that the relay is energized. In my experience, when a DC current is removed from a coil, the polarity of the magnetic field reverses and if it weren't for the diode, the relay would "chatter". The diode polarity is oppsite of the actuating voltage.
How does a quenching diode work?
Quenching diodes are used to protect the control circuit of a relay. Power is applied to a relay's coil to close it. When this power is released there is a backwards flowing pulse that can wipe out solid state devices like transistors, LEDs, chips, etc... The quenching diode is applied in parallel with the relay coil so that the cathode is on the positive side. During normal operation, the diode doesn't conduct and the relay operates normally. When the relay is switched off, the "reversed" back pulse is absorbed due to the low voltage drop of the diode which limits the spike.
What is material made of a zener diode?
SILICON same as any other diode but with different characteristics
When a 10mA forward bias current and the voltages at the anode and cathode of a diode in a circuit are found to be the same what is the diode most likely to be?
With a 10mA forward bias current, if the voltages at the anode and cathode of a diode in a circuit are found to be the same, then the diode most likely to be shorted.
What is the purpose of the zener diode in a power supply?
to limit the voltage or regulate the same.

Is pin diode and led diode are same?
no

Why do you put a diode across a relay coil?
If the current through a coil is interrupted, the coil generates a high voltage (such as in the old car ignition coils). The diode provides a path for the current to decay naturally, thus avoiding the high voltage.
Is a resistor the same as a diode blocker?
No... Diode block one way... resistor block eitherway.

How replace branches of diode with zener diode?
You do not want to replace diodes with zener diodes. They are not the same type of device, and the design objective is not the same.
What is the purpose of the zener diode in a power supply?
to limit the voltage or regulate the same.
What is the voltage drop in diode IN4007?
forward drop is the same as any other silicon diode, about 0.7V
How transistor work as a diode?
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
My 2000 Nissan Altima has a relay at the ECM How do I check this 4 pin relay 1 and 2 is resistance and 3 and 5 are normal open The socket has a 12 vdc wire?
to properly test relay you must have relay in circuit apply voltage to pin 1 if there is no diode there will not be a polarity issue. if there is a diode you must apply voltage to proper pin or you will have a short circuit. apply ground to pin 2 with coil energized there will be continuity across the other pins when voltage or ground is denied there will be no continuity. to properly test relay you must have relay in circuit apply voltage to pin 1 if there is no diode there will not be a polarity issue. if there is a diode you must apply voltage to proper pin or you will have a short circuit. apply ground to pin 2 with coil energized there will be continuity across the other pins when voltage or ground is denied there will be no continuity.
