By definiton, a diode lets electrical current flow only in one direction. A RECTIFIER DIODE is basically the same thing. It is used mainly for power supply operation and can handle higher current flow than a regular diode. Diodes are rated from milliamps to as high as 100 amps per diode depending upon the diode style and amperage rating. A recitifier diode is the same as a "Power diode". Diodes are mainly used to change AC (alternating current) into DC (directo current) which is used by batteries and etc.

Why tunnel diode differ from the rectifier diode?
tunnel diodethe doping level of the tunnel diode is high when compared with the rectifier diodeit exhibits negative resistancerectifier diodethe doping level of rectifier diode is low when compared with the tunnel diode
How can we Diode can be used as a rectifier?
A diode is used to stop the negative voltage swing in an AC signal, so you only get the positive portions.diode-rectifier
What is N4001 diode?
1.0A RECTIFIER diode used to convert ac power to dc power
Why transfer characteristics cannot be obtained for a bridge rectifier?
Its because one of the diode gets shorted.The diode in the left lower arm in a bridge rectifier gets shorted by the ground points of both the cro and the function generator.
What happen if all the diode in bridge rectifier is reversed?
it will work as a rectifier . because the AC current to be rectified will not be effected by this change. the out put DC polarity will be changed.
Can a diode be used as rectifier diode?
yes, diode can be used as rectifier diode to convert ac to dc
Can diode be used as rectifier?
yes ofcourse diode can be used as rectifier but it's an uncontrolled rectification.
Why tunnel diode differ from the rectifier diode?
tunnel diodethe doping level of the tunnel diode is high when compared with the rectifier diodeit exhibits negative resistancerectifier diodethe doping level of rectifier diode is low when compared with the tunnel diode
What is the function of diode what is the function of diode?
A diode is used primarily as a Rectifier
What effect does an open diode have on the output voltage of a half wave rectifier and on a full wave rectifier?
An open diode will result in no output from a half wave rectifier, and an open diode will cut the output of a full wave rectifier in half.
How can we Diode can be used as a rectifier?
A diode is used to stop the negative voltage swing in an AC signal, so you only get the positive portions.diode-rectifier
What is the function of a rectifier diode?
A rectifier can convert AC to pulsating DC.
What are merits and demerits of bridge rectifier?
Merits a diode bridge rectifier is simple to build
What does an alternator diode rectifier do?
The alternator diode rectifier converts the AC current being produced by the alternator to DC from which most of the electronics installed and battery use.
What is N4001 diode?
1.0A RECTIFIER diode used to convert ac power to dc power
Difference between 4 diodes and 2 diodes rectifier?
a 2 diode rectifier is a center tap rectifier an a 4 diode rectifier will be a bridge rectifier *********************************************************** A two-diode rectifier is not always a centre-tap rectifier. If the two diodes are connected to the same end of a transformer's secondary, one by its anode and one by its cathode, one will proved a positive voltage with respect to trhe other end of the winding and the other will provide a negative voltage. (But perhaps that isn't considered a two-diode rectifier - but a two single-diode ones.)
What happens when a diode goes bad?
how can u tell if the rectifier is bad on a 2001 suzuki intruder 1500lc
