Absolutely not. An ideal diode's characteristic would be perfect conduction in the forward direction and perfect insulation (no conduction) in the reverse direction. Silicon diodes come respectably close.

What is the I-V characteristic of a diode?

The I-V characteristic of a diode is a graphical representation of the relationship between the current (I) flowing through the diode and the voltage (V) across it. In the forward bias region, the diode allows current to flow with a small voltage drop once a threshold (the forward voltage) is exceeded, leading to an exponential increase in current. In reverse bias, the diode blocks current until a breakdown voltage is reached, where a small reverse current can occur. This characteristic illustrates the diode's ability to conduct electricity in one direction while preventing it in the other.


What is a line frequency power diode?

line Frequency diode have very low forward bias drops but their recovery characteristic(time) is very long. Their softness factor is low.


What is the Principle and operation characteristic of switching diode?

A: The principle is that is a semiconductor meaning will conduct one way only. A switching diode however will have the least of capacitance across its junction so when it disconnect is faster


What are the characteristic of photo diode?

A photodiode is a type of photodetector capable of converting light into either current or voltage, depending upon the mode of operation. Its characteristics is same as that of an ordinary diode, except that it depends on light.


What is zener diode and for what it is used?

Zener Diode is nothing but a Crystal P-n junction diode in which the P type and n-type layers are heavily doped.Zener diode is mainly used as voltage regulator its forward charaqcteristic is same as normal p-n junsction diode but its reverse Characteristic is different that when the reverse region reaches knee region in spite of changes in current the voltage remains the same

The characteristic curve of a diode?

A diode characteristic curve is a curve that describes the characteristic of diode and it is normally based on experiment data. The curve itself has two distinctly separate parts.One part lies in the first quadrant and it stands for the forward-biased situtation.It reflets the barrier voltage(meaning the smallest amount of voltage that can turn on the diode).For Germannium diode,the barrier voltage is 0.3V while silicon diode is 0.7V,but the real value differs according to the temperature and current flows through the diode.The other part lies in the third quadrant which indicates the reverse-biased situation,from which you can find out the leakage current(the current flow through before Breakdown Point). Typcially, a diode characteristic curve varies from diode to diode.But theoretically speaking,we regard them as the same.

The Normal ditribution is symmetric but so are other distributions.


Why the dynamic resistance of a zener diode different from its static resistance?

The dynamic resistance of a diode, be it zener or otherwise, will be different from its static resistance because a diode is not a resistor, and resistance is not a function of current flow. It is a diode, and a diode has its own characteristic voltage to current curve, forward and, in the case of a zener, reverse.


What does diode mean in a science?

A diode is an electronic component with the characteristic that its resistance is not constant, but depends on the magnitude of the current through it. An ideal diode has zero resistance to current in one direction, and infinite resistance to current in the reverse direction.

What is the characteristic of a diode when electrical current passes through it?

A "diode" is any of several devices; the only thing they have in common is that they have two electrical connections - hence the name. These devices have different functions. The simplest semiconductor diode, and one of the most common, is probably the rectifier diode. It lets current pass in one direction, but not in the other direction.
