A diode is an electronic component which only allows the current to pass through it in one direction. This is useful in many aplications, such as preventing current to flow in the wrong direction in a circuit.
A resistor is also an electronic component, but instead of preventing the current from moving in a certain direction the resistor creates an electrical resistance which will effect the current passing through it. The larger the resistance of the resistor, which is measured in Ohm, the greater the effect it will have on the current.
What else can I help you with?
What was the major effect of replacing the two diodes with resistors?
As I have no information on the circuit I can make no valid predictions as to the effect of replacing diodes with resistors. However I assume the effect(s) will resemble that of having very defective diodes in the circuit.
What are the classifications of diodes?
a diode is a device that alows current to flow in one direction you have power diodes which are used in rectification processes and high current operations but the two main families of diodes are solid state diodes or valve operated diodes.
Diodes are commonly used for?
diodes are commonly used for rectification
Different types of diodes and their applications in real life?
what are the different types of diodes and their appplications
Is the diode and semiconductor diodes are the same?
Today, all diodes are semiconductor diodes. However, the first diodes were piles of washers of different metals that together made a diode, and specially constructed vacuum tubes. There may still be markets for other types of diodes in very high voltage circuits, but you or i are unlikely to come in contact with them.
Active component in resistors and capacitors?
Resistors, capacitors, inductors, diodes are all passive components.
Is superposition theorem applicable for diodes?
No, diodes are not linear elements like resistors are. Current can only flow in one direction in diodes.
What was the major effect of replacing the two diodes with resistors?
As I have no information on the circuit I can make no valid predictions as to the effect of replacing diodes with resistors. However I assume the effect(s) will resemble that of having very defective diodes in the circuit.
What are common names for some primary discrete components used on circuit boards?
Resistors, capacitors, diodes
Why not gate is not possible using diodes?
Diodes cannot invert, a required part of the not operation.
Do diodes have resistance?
Yes, diodes have resistance, but it is typically low compared to other components like resistors. The resistance in a diode is non-linear and varies with the voltage applied across it.
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.
Discrete products in semiconductors?
Resistors, capacitors, diodes any component that is a recognized item byitself as a single component.
What is the major effect of replacing the two diodes with resistor in bridge rectifier circuit?
Its no longer a rectifier and the resistors may catch fire.
Difference between zener diode and junction diode?
Zener diodes and ordinary junction diodes are similar, except that zener diodes have additional doping to bring their reverse breakdown voltage into a more usable value, and to allow them to not destructively avalanche when they do conduct in the reverse direction.
What is difference between power diode and ordinary diode?
the High voltage rated diodes are power diodes while of low rating or normal voltage rating are considered to as ordinary / normal diode
What are non ohmic devices give an example?
non ohmic devices are diodes, LED's, Thermistors, LDR(light dependent resistors, cells in series.
