A diode is not an amplifier. It is a rectifier with asymmetrical voltage breakdown voltages. Usually the forward voltage is around 0.6V to 0.7V (silicon), and the reverse voltage is smaller than breakdown voltage, which is much higher. A transistor can be used as an amplifier, by taking into account the fact that the voltage breakdown curves vary, usually collector-emitter, as a function of some other current, usually base-emitter, but this depends on the class of the amplifier and whether or not the transistor is driven into saturation.

Can a schottky diode used as a current amplifier?
A Schottky diode is not typically used as a current amplifier; it is primarily designed for fast switching and low forward voltage drop applications. While it can conduct current efficiently, its function is to rectify or clamp signals rather than amplify current. Current amplification is generally achieved using transistors or operational amplifiers, which are specifically designed for that purpose. Therefore, while a Schottky diode can handle current, it does not provide current amplification.
What is a substitute for a germanium diode?
There is no exact substitute for a germanium diode, except another germanium diode. However if the only concern is to get a lower forward voltage drop than that of a silicon diode (0.7V), then a schottky barrier diode may be a suitable replacement as its forward voltage drop (<0.1V) is even lower than that of a germanium diode (0.2V).
Why power diode has more power ratings?
It will be dissipating more power than a small signal diode.
Is transformer an amplifier?
No. In an amplifier, Power Out > Power in. In a transformer Power Out ~= Power In (minus internal losses). An AC generator is more like an amplifier than a transformer.
How to identify the anode and cathode of DR 25 diode?
The cathode of a diode is usually indicated with a band. In the absence of the band, consult the datasheet. Alternatively, use an ohmmeter that generates more than 0.7 volts at low current (a diode checker) and check conductance. The diode will conduct when the anode is more positive than the cathode.
What is the configuration of cascade amplifier?
In a cascade amplifier, two identical or non identical amplifiers are cascaded ,i.e., connected in series through a capacitor. They are mostly common emitter amplifiers that are cascaded together.The final gain of the cascaded amplifier is the product of the first amplifier's gain and the second amplifier's gain. However, the bandwidth of the cascaded version becomes lesser than the individual gains.

How does a diode shorted?
due to high voltage across the diode ie more than piv of the diode or current flows more than maximum allowed range of diode.
Which amplifier has more efficiency than class b amplifier?
Class C amplifier.. A class D amplifier is more efficient than class B, and is more efficient than class C as well.
How loud does a monster amplifier get?
A monster amplifier is about 500 watts, which means the amplifier is louder than most.
What is the condition that prevent the current to pass across diode?
if the voltage across the diode is less than the cut-in voltage of that particular diode .
Does the material of the diode depends on break down voltage?
A Germanium diode has a much lower breakdown voltage than a silicone diode.
A diode conducts only when it is?
a diode will conduct when anode is more positive than the cathode
What happens when diode is supplied with a voltage higher than RIV in reverse bias?
when diode is supplied with a voltage higher than RIV in reverse bias, the diode will burn out and will have zero resistance.
What is a substitute for a germanium diode?
There is no exact substitute for a germanium diode, except another germanium diode. However if the only concern is to get a lower forward voltage drop than that of a silicon diode (0.7V), then a schottky barrier diode may be a suitable replacement as its forward voltage drop (<0.1V) is even lower than that of a germanium diode (0.2V).
What will happen if current is more than required in diode?
If the applied voltage is greater than maximum forward voltage, the diode will get damaged..
Why amplification of ac signal is easier than a dc signal?
The Amplification is much high during acmode because of transister conducts boththe Half cycles.But in DC the transister conducts only in positive half cycles.So the Amplification of AC signal greater than DC signal.
