A: That is no such a diode but if it exists it will have unlimited reverse voltage capability the forward voltage drop will be zero no matter of current flow and it will remain so regardless of temperature changes

Voltage-current characteristics of ideal diode?

An ideal diode would match the purpose of a diode without any of the drawbacks. The purpose of a diode is to control current flow - The diode "turns on" for current flowing in one direction, and "turns off" if current wants to flow in the other direction. Ideally, there would be no voltage drop across this diode when allowing current flow, thus no power loss. When the diode is "turned off" by a negative voltage, idealy there would be no current flow (no matter how large the negative voltage).

How much forward diode voltage is there with the ideal diode approximation?

Consider ideal diode to be connected in series with resistor of 6kSilicon diode forward bias voltage = 0.7 voltsCurrent across 6k resistor = (5-0.7)/6000 amperesVoltage across {resistor + diode}=4.3 + 0.7=5vIf silicon internal resistance is 6k then voltage across diode=5vIf external resistance is 6k and diode resistance is negligible then voltage across diode=0.7v


List the two conditions under which a diode is operated?

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.


How real diode is different from ideal diode?

It depends how "ideal" your ideal diode is. The first approximation of an ideal diode is that it's a device that allows current to flow one way, and not the other way, while doing this with no losses. The second approximation of a diode implies the inherent 0.7V drop across the device, as well as one way current flow, but with no loss resistance. The third approximation of an ideal diode is a device which allows current to only flow one way through it, with a 0.7V loss across is, as well as a small internal resistance of a few ohms. These all vary from a real diode because these are all linear, in every sense. You can neither calculate the voltage nor the current across/through a diode. Instead, you must use the diode's characteristic curve (given on datasheet), and linearize it. You can get any amount of current to flow through the diode the CORRECT direction, by changing the voltage used. A number of microamps will take perhaps, a third of a Volt.


Can diode work as switch?

yes diode can be used as a switch as it conducts current in only one direction.it is a open switch when it reverse biased.and as aclosed switch when it is forward biased.but we consider diode as ideal .

What is the simplest way to visualize a diode?

The simplest way is the Ideal Model representation of a diode. Forward: V=0(short circuit),r'd=0,I=use Ohm's law. Reverse: V=Vbias(Open Circuit),I=0,r'R=0. Ideal model means it is acting as a switch.


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.
