Can a diode power a circuit?

An ordinary diode, no. It has nowhere to get energy from.But a solar cell is a type of diode that converts light to electricity. So it is a diode that can power a circuit. So yes, there is one type of diode that can power a circuit.


What is the difference between diode and converter?

Diode: Which allows power in one direction or which converts AC to dc . Converter: Which converts DC to DC


What is the difference between electric diode and electronic diode?

Not sure of your context. A diode is a diode. One artificial distinction might be that an electric diode refers to a diode used in a higher power application with more current where an electronic diode might be found on a circuit board as part of an electronic lower power application.


What is the difference between p n junction and zener diode?

The difference between the pn-junction diode and the zener diode is that the pn-junction diode is used for rectification while the zener diode is used for rectification and stabilization. Also, the zener diode can function in the breakdown region while the pn-juntion diode can not function in that regime.


What is the difference in construction between power diode and simple diode?

Basically the semi-conductor junctions are a larger surface area and heat sinks are part of the design to dissipate heat.


What are the differences between power diode and signal diode?

Simple diode is a two-terminal pn-junction with appropriate contacts for connecting the junction to external circuits. Power diode is formed by alloying, diffusion, and epitaxial growth. The modern techniques in semiconductor fabrication processes permit the desired device characteristics. The operation of power diodes is similar to that of signal diodes; but it has larger power-, voltage-, and current-handling capabilities than those of ordinary diodes. Switching speed of the power diodes is low compared to that of signal diodes.

What is the difference between placing a reverse protection diode in series or in parallel to the supply?

A: big difference diodes are semiconductor with the right polarity it can be a short to the power supply reversing will cause no problem and probably eliminate some spikes


Why power diode has more power ratings?

It will be dissipating more power than a small signal diode.

What is the difference between standard form and ordinary?

Ordinary form is when its the number e.g 70 000 . standard form is the digits above zero infron of how many times its multiplied. in this case the answer would be 7X10 to the power of 5 hope this helps
