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.
Can you parallel schottky diodes?
according to Texas Instruments it is a good practice to use multiple schottky diodes in parallel.
Why is the direction of diodes in alternator diode trio is opposite to the direction of diodes in the rectifier bridge?
A three phase alternator will have six diodes in the rectifier bridge, three with their anodes connected to the phases, and cathodes commoned to the positive terminal, and three with the cathodes connected to the phases, and anodes commoned to the negative terminal, which is likely the housing of the alternator. The trio diodes arrangement will match the positive rectifiers, i.e. anodes to the phase connections, cathodes (denoted usually by a stripe around the body on small diodes), connected to the D+ terminal
How rectifier transformer convert ac to dc energy?
The transformer produces AC at the required voltage, and then one, two or four diodes are connected to it to produce pulsating DC, which is then smoothed to DC by a series inductor, or, in low-power supplies, by a parallel reservoir capacitor. A single diode is called a half wave rectifier because it passes the positive half of the wave and suppresses the negative. Two diodes in conjunction with a centre-tap on the secondary make a full wave rectifier, while four diodes can be connected as a bridge rectifier, which is also full-wave and does not need a centre-tap.
How many diodes can be used in center tap type rectifiers?
There are two diodes in a standard center tapped configuration of a rectifier. This is per phase, so if you had a three phase system, each winding having a center tap, all of which are connected together, you would have six diodes.

You need a 1watt zener diode for your circuit but you have only four .25W If you connect four .25 Watt of zener diodes in parallel Is it the resultant wattage become 1 Watt?
No, four zener diodes in parallel will not increase the power rating of the set. This is because one zener will always conduct first, so it will be the only one that has current through it. If, however, you put four zener diodes in series, each with a voltage rating one quarter your desired voltage, you can achieve a higher power rating for the set.

How is series clipper differ from parallel clipper?
Series clipper diodes are in series connection with the load while Parallel clippers are in parallel connection with the load.
When two 5v zener diodes are connected parallel so what is the outputs?
When engineered properly (through a resistor, care taking to not exceed the current capacity of the zener, etc) the pass-through voltage will still be 5 V.

How the three phase rectification is achieved?
You achieve three phase rectification with a three phase rectifier. There is one in the alternator of you car. You have three windings, connected delta, so there are three terminals. Three diodes are connected to these terminals, anodes towards the terminals, cathodes common and connected to the battery. Three more diodes (for a total of six) are connected to the terminals, cathodes towards the terminals, with the anodes common and connected to ground. At any one moment of time, one winding provides voltage to cause two diodes to conduct, charging the battery. As the alternator rotates, the windings and the diodes take turns, effectively providing a three phase AC to DC power source to the battery. If you look closely, there is another set of three, smaller, diodes connected as well, anodes towards the terminals. These diodes provide power for the integrated regulator, but the six main diodes are large and heatsinked into the frame of the alternator.
Two zener diodes are conected in parallel of vz6.25.1 in opposite polarity across them a 10v dc supply is connected what is the output why?
What the heck is the vz6. Zeners can protect overvoltags from damaging circuits. Two reversed zeners control AC currents.

When the output of two 5.6 volts zener diodes circuits are connected in series do you obtain 2x5.611.2 volts?
If you are saying that the Zeners are connected in series, the answer is Yes.
What are the problems of series connected diodes and what are the possible sulotions?
A: The question remains why would anybody connect diodes in series to begin with only one is necessary. So the solution is use one
