What is definition of diffusion current?

The diffusion current in a metal-semiconductor diode is derived based on the assumption that the depletion layer is large compared to the mean free path, so that the concepts of drift and diffusion are valid.


When does the diode not allowed to flow the current?

A diode is a one-way gate for electrical current to flow through. You must have the right size diode for the amount of current that will be used in your circuit. The stripe on the diode is your output end. That is, the current must enter your diode at the non-stripe end and leave at the end with the stripe. This coincides with the diode symbol used on your schematic. If your diode is in backwards, the circuit will not work as the gate in the diode will block the current just the way it should.


What type of diode maintains constant current?

zener diode


How much current draw zener diode?

It depends on the particular zener diode. Typically, they will pull 75 ma of current.


What is the diode equation?

The diode equation describes the current-voltage relationship of a diode, given by the formula ( I = I_s \left( e^{\frac{qV}{kT}} - 1 \right) ). Here, ( I ) is the diode current, ( I_s ) is the reverse saturation current, ( q ) is the charge of an electron, ( V ) is the voltage across the diode, ( k ) is Boltzmann's constant, and ( T ) is the absolute temperature in Kelvin. This equation illustrates how current flows through a diode in response to an applied voltage, highlighting the exponential increase in current with forward bias.

What is Reverse Saturation Current of a diode?

When a diode is operated as reverse bias the current flow is almost completely blocked. A small amount of current is still able to travel in reverse through the diode and this is referred to as the reverse current saturation.
