How many type of diode?

There are many types of diodes that are used for different functions in electronics. The most common types include the laser diodes and the light emitting diodes (LED).


What are the possible applications of a diode in electronics?

Silicon diodes can be used for rectification of AC voltages. There are many different types of diodes that are used in many applications but you only asked for one ! Significantly, one other application of diodes is in the solar panel companies where they are used in the solar panels for forward operation not to allow any voltage of electricity to flow back.

What is true about diodes?

Lots of things are true about diodes. There are different types of diodes; their general characteristic is that they have two electrodes (electrical contacts). They conduct current in one direction only.


Why would you use silicon diodes instead of germanium?

Though germanium diodes were the first ones fabricated, several factors make silicon the choice vs. germanium diodes. Silicon diodes have a greater ease of processing, lower cost, greater power handling, less leakage and more stable temperature characteristics than germanium diodes. Germanium diodes' lower forward drop (.2V to .3V versus .7V to 1.0V) make them better at small signal detection and rectification.


Silicon diodes begin conducting at a forward voltage of approximately?

What types of diodes are used in high frequencies?

Two types used at microwave frequencies are gunn and PIN diodes.


What is the value of the knee voltage and breakdown voltage of z?

It is about 0.7 volt for Silicon diodes.


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.
