Light Emitting Diode (LED) & the Avalanche Diode. These are two types of diodes ,but there are more
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
its the simplest thing to do. There are three legs in a transistor, one each of collector, base and emitter. So if you need to use it as a diode, just connect either collector-base or emitter-base. Say, if you use an NPN transistor, then the base region will be the anode of diode and emitter or collector will be the cathode of the diode.
two terminals
Diode is a Two terminal device which allows flow of curent in forward direction that means it converts DC to AC
A diode is typically operated under forward bias, where the anode is at a higher potential than the cathode, allowing current to flow, or under reverse bias, where the cathode is at a higher potential than the anode, preventing significant current flow.
The two bias conditions for a diode are forward and reverse
A diode is a semiconductor material which has p region and n region. In order to "turn on" and conduct current in the forward direction, a diode requires a certain amount of positive voltage to be applied across it. An ideal diode conducts only when the diode is forward biased, and then the voltage drop across the diode (Vd) is zero. When the ideal diode is reverse biased, no current flows. The two conditions to operate a diode are: (a) Current flow is permitted; the diode is forward biased. (b) Current flow is prohibited; the diode is reversed biased. When the polarity of the battery is such that current is allowed to flow through the diode, the diode is said to be forward-biased.
diode:= di+ iode di means two,and iode means terminal,,,, diode is two terminal device i.e anode and cathode
An electronic component composed of two layers of a semiconductor material is a diode.
The two leads on a diode are called the anode and the cathode.
Light Emitting Diode (LED) & the Avalanche Diode. These are two types of diodes ,but there are more
because two semiconductors are there.....P and N
Diode is a two terminal semicon. Diode is a Switching device
Germanium diodes typically have a lower forward voltage drop than silicon diodes, which can result in slightly higher temperatures under the same operating conditions. However, the difference in temperature between the two types of diodes is generally minimal and may vary depending on the specific application.
If a diode is connected with two voltage sources for ex: One is 5V in F.B and The other is 3V in R.B then the Effective voltage will be equal to 2V F.B. So, The diode conducts.
The two modes of reproduction are favored under different conditions.
