What is the use of zenor diode in practical use?
voltage regulation
Can you use a capacitor instead of zener diode in biased clipping circuit?
No. The purpose of the zener diode is to clip (turn on) at a certain voltage. A capacitor will not exhibit this behavior.
What is the use of PN diode?
there are many uses. one major use i remember is in rectification i.e convert ac to dc For switch operation
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 use of the diode?
The use of the pn diode is for rectification. It can also be used as a switch.
Can you use resistance in place of diode in clipping circuits?
no we not use resistance in place of diode.
Which diode does not use negative resistance in its operation?
Backward diode
How do you use diode in a sentence?
Example sentence - The little red diode can be used as a pin on a tie.
How can you make a bypass diode?
the diode is forward bias ANSWER: A bypass diode is used to bypass circuitry as soon as the diode is forward bias by 0.6 volts The use it to bypass to prevent damage to the circuitry
What is the use of zenor diode in practical use?
voltage regulation
What is more referred to use si diode or a ge diode?
silicon diode is preferred more when compared with germanium diode because in silicon diode the operating voltage is 0.7v where as in germanium diode the operating voltage is 0.3v , germanium is temperature sensitive so it can be easily destroyed by increasing temperature hence silicon diode is preferred more
How do you use scr as a diode?
scr is basically a three terminal device can be used as diode by leaving one terminal
How do you identify the polarity of a diode when the tester is on diode scale?
To my own understanding, you will use multi-meter to test for the polarity
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.
What is the solid state diode?
A solid-state diode is a diode where the electrons flow through only solid materials. Nearly all diodes in common use are solid-state.
What diode people use before the invention of zener diode?
gas filled cold cathode glow discharge tubes.
