a diode in a ckt basically acts like a switch!! it acts like a switch in on position i.e a short when forward biased and acts like a open ckt or a swich in off position when it is reversed biased!! its used inanalog circuits to generate different types of waves.........
What else can I help you with?
What are common names for some primary discrete components used on circuit boards?
Resistors, capacitors, diodes
What are the advantages of collector to base biased?
it converts it to a diode. sometimes this is done for matching the characteristics of diodes and transistors in the circuit. standard diodes might not have similar enough curves to the transistors for the circuit to operate correctly.
Why diode is used?
The purpose of a diode is to direct the flow of current in a circuit. Diodes function by allowing current flow in only one direction (acting as a short when current is applied at one end) and resisting current flow from the opposite direction (acting as an open circuit). Electronic devices such as full wave rectifiers use a series of diodes to convert AC to DC current.
What is the difference between series and parallel diodes?
Connecting diodes in series:Connecting diodes in series will increase the forward voltage of the resultant diode.Connecting diodes in series will cause an open circuit until peak inverse voltage (smallest diode) is applied on total resultant.Connecting diodes in parallel:Connecting diodes in parallel will increase the current carrying capacity of the diode.Connecting diodes in parallel will not get you a resultant diode conduction in both sides.
Why can you not use two double diodes in a bridge circuit?
Using two double diodes in a bridge circuit is not advisable because it can lead to unbalanced current distribution and potential failure of the circuit. A bridge rectifier requires four diodes to ensure that both halves of the AC waveform are utilized effectively, allowing for proper rectification. With only two double diodes, you may end up with insufficient paths for current during one half of the AC cycle, resulting in poor performance and inefficiency. Additionally, the configuration may not adequately protect against reverse voltage, risking damage to the diodes.
What are the major classification of diodes?
1. general purpose diodes 2. fast recovery diodes 3. schottky diodes
What was the major effect of replacing the two diodes with resistors?
As I have no information on the circuit I can make no valid predictions as to the effect of replacing diodes with resistors. However I assume the effect(s) will resemble that of having very defective diodes in the circuit.
Which circuit element(s) are known as diodes and only allow current to flow through them in one direction?
Diodes are the circuit elements that only allow current to flow through them in one direction.
Are diodes and fuses the same thing?
no. a fuse protects a circuit from overload, while a diode is a component of a circuit.

What has the greater current in the diodes bridge rectifier circuit or full-wave rectifier circuit?
They both have the same current.

What are zenna diodes?
They are actually called zener and I think they limit the voltage of a circuit.
