How do you define zener diode terminals?
two terminals
What happens with voltage and current by damaged diode...the diode is IN5408?
It depends on how the diode is damaged. There are generally two cases. One, the diode is shorted, and conducts with a low impedance in both directions. The other, the diode is open, and does not conduct, having a high impedance, in both directions. The effect depends on the particular circuit. In a power supply, a shorted diode will often blow the fuse, while an open diode will result in no output, or in high ripple voltage output. Is it possible that diode has normal voltage output but wrong current,meaning low mA?
Can you use transistor as diode?
its the simplest thing to do. There are three legs in a transistor, one each of collector, base and emitter. So if you need to use it as a diode, just connect either collector-base or emitter-base. Say, if you use an NPN transistor, then the base region will be the anode of diode and emitter or collector will be the cathode of the diode.
Difference between optocoupler and normal diode?
Purpose: An optocoupler (or optical isolator) uses optics to isolate one circuit from another. The diode in the optical isolator is similar to an LED. The light from this LED controls the gate or base of a transistor. A diode has two terminals, an optocouple will have at least 4. A diode is used to control current flow direction; an optocoupler main purpose is to isolate one circuit from another. etc. etc.
How do you connect diodes in series?
Connect positive to negative, leaving the end positive and negative connections free to power circuits or devices. Connecting batteries in series adds the voltage of the batteries. For instance, connecting three 12v car batteries in series will create a total of 36v, enough for welding.

What is the definition of silicon diode?
A silicon diode is a tiny electronic component having two terminals, usually a switch or limiting device.
What type of diode is used to convert alternating current into direct current?
The type of diode used to convert alternating current in to direct current is the power diode.
How do you give a demo on the only diode?
Its a power full Semiconductor device now we have..It is having Two terminals
List the two conditions under which a diode is operated?
A diode is a semiconductor material which has p region and n region. In order to "turn on" and conduct current in the forward direction, a diode requires a certain amount of positive voltage to be applied across it. An ideal diode conducts only when the diode is forward biased, and then the voltage drop across the diode (Vd) is zero. When the ideal diode is reverse biased, no current flows. The two conditions to operate a diode are: (a) Current flow is permitted; the diode is forward biased. (b) Current flow is prohibited; the diode is reversed biased. When the polarity of the battery is such that current is allowed to flow through the diode, the diode is said to be forward-biased.

What is the purpose of an cathode and an anode in a diode?
The cathode and anode are simply two terminals of a semi-conductor junction. In a normal diode, forward bias occurs when the anode is more positive than the cathode.
