Is diode an active or passive device?

An active device is a device that takes input energy to operate. The only energy a diode uses is from the signal applied to it (it has one input, one output, and no other terminals), so it is a passive device. To be an active device, a separate power source must be applied to it - such as the case for operation amplifiers, for example.

Why a Schottky diode is faster than a p-n junction diode?

Schottky diode is major charge carrier device. It has no minor charges to recover when device goes on to off or vice versa.


Why diode is active device when all other active devices require external power supply?

A Device is said to be active if... (i) It is a source of Power in the circuit... (ii) It amplifies any voltage or current in a circuit... (iii) It acts as a switch ie., has modes equivalent to ON and OFF... e.g., transistor amplifies and can also act as a switch...


What is the difference between a LED and a diode, and how does the type of diode used affect the performance of the device it is integrated into?

A Light Emitting Diode (LED) is a type of diode that emits light when current flows through it. A diode is a semiconductor device that allows current to flow in one direction only. The type of diode used in a device can affect its performance by influencing factors such as efficiency, brightness, and color of the light emitted. Different diodes have different characteristics that can impact the overall performance of the device they are integrated into.


What causes a damage or alters a pn junction diode?

A: A devices whether active or passive have a power dissipation limits. By abusing this limit the device can become faulty and unreliable
