What stops the flow of electricity?
Turn off the switch, generator runs out of fuel, wind not turning the windmill, solar panel at night, diode, insulation.
What is a large slower acting diode?
it is a rectify diode
What is schotty diode?
Its schotlky diode. schotlky diode is metal semi conducter junction. It has fast switchng speed. The cutting voltage of schotlky diode is about 0.2 volts.
What is the difference between a 1N4007 diode and a 1N4007S diode what does the s do?
The difference in the 1N4007 diode and the 1N4007S diode is the voltage. The 1N4007S has a higher voltage but the meaning of the S is not listed.
Can a diode power a circuit?
An ordinary diode, no. It has nowhere to get energy from.But a solar cell is a type of diode that converts light to electricity. So it is a diode that can power a circuit. So yes, there is one type of diode that can power a circuit.
Why diode act as an insulator?
Diode is a semiconductor material. so it act as insulator also.
Why do we get current in reverse bias?
because semiconductor diodes are not perfect insulators when reverse biased. if you want a diode that is a perfect insulator when reverse biased, use a vacuum tube diode.
What is diote?
A diode is semiconductor device which is used in a lot of application in electronics equipment.it is negative temp. coefficient device i.e. at lower temp. it is behave like a insulator and high temp. it is work like a good conductor. Basically a diode is used to convert an alternating current into direct current in form of a rectifier. There are many types of diode used in today day to day life depends upon their application. 1 crystal diode 2 photo diode 3zener diode are some of the most useful diode.

Why diode use in parallel?
1. Redundancy: If one diode breaks (in a way that makes it an insulator), the other diode(s) will do the job. In case of that kind of diode breakage the circuit is like an OR-gate: If diode1 OR diode2 OR ... OR diodeN works properly, then the circuit works properly. If it is important to make sure that the diode does not wrongly conduct, then the diodes should be in series. 2. Reducing the forward voltage: In power electronics high currents need to be conducted with parts that are as ideal as possible (concordantly in this case each diode should be able to carry at least the full current, that has to be transferred through the group of diodes, in order to avoid a cascaded cataclysmic thermal runaway due to a decrease of the forward voltage of the overheated diode).
What do you call something that cannot pass electricity?
Diode's are restrictive to one direction of current only. A resistor will limit the amount of current in a circuit.
How is zener diode different from a conventional diode or ideal diode?
zener diode :zener diode operates under reverse bias voltageideal diode :ideal diode operates under forward bias voltage
Can a diode be used as rectifier diode?
yes, diode can be used as rectifier diode to convert ac to dc
What is impatt diode?
The read type diode are called impatt diode
What is the function of diode what is the function of diode?
A diode is used primarily as a Rectifier
Which is better light emitting diode or laser diode?
Laser diode
Is vinyl a conductor or an insulator?
insulator
