How does a diode respond when a current source is connected?
The current will flow in one direction only. That direction is indicated by, usually, a ring around one end of the diode. The current will flow from the unmarked end to the marked end.
Why diode don't allow the current coming in opposite direction?
Diode is known as a rectifier because it only allows the current to flow in one direction. Diode is only effective when the input is AC.
What is the working principle of a diode?
Diodes allow electricity to only flow in one direction, thus converting alternating current (a.c.) into direct current (d.c.). They also allow electrons to flow one way only (until reverse breakdown occurs - then current may flow in both directions). Diodes are often used in both domestic and industrial applications and they are especially useful in electrical circuits.
What is zeren diode?
A normal diode only allows current to flow in one direction, e.g: A to B. However, current will only flow across this diode A to B when there is a voltage ( called the breakdown voltage), and different normal diodes require different voltages to allow current to flow, e.g: silicon diodes allow current to flow A to B when there is a minimum of 0.6V flowing, at which point the resistance drops, and current flows. A zener diode does exactly this, however, it also allows current to flow in an opposite direction once the breakdown voltage for this direction has been reached. e.g: if a Zener diode has a breakdown voltage of 3.6V, at 3.6V its resistance will drop significantly enough so that current can flow. hopes this helps
How current are made?
You cause the current to flow through an electronic device that allows current to flow in one directionbut not in the other direction. Such a device is called a "diode" or a "rectifier".
Why diode is called mechanical valve?
A valve allows flow in only one direction. Diodes allow electrical current to flow in one direction only.
Can a diode work in ac?
A diode is a "one-way valve" that allows electrical current to flow in only one direction. A diode placed in series between an AC voltage source and a resistive load will allow current to flow through the load in one direction and block the current when the polarity of the AC voltage changes.
What is the main function of diode?
the main function of the diode is to allow current to flow in just one direction and oppose the flow of current in negative direction.In short diode rectifies the current..

Does a diode have polarity?
Yes, a diode inherently has polarity, as current is only allowed to flow one direction.
What is a pcm diode on a 2001 ford explorer sport trac?
Powertrain Control Module diode ( from what I read , a diode is a one direction device which permits current to flow easily in one direction , but offers an extremely high resistance to a current trying to flow in the opposite direction )
What is a semiconductor device that allows electricity to flow in only one direction?
A "diode" will allow current to pass thru it in only one direction, provided you don't overload it.
What is zenor and zener diode?
Zenor diode is allow to flow current in forward direction and it can also allow current in reverse direction when the voltage is above the certain value.
Voltage-current characteristics of ideal diode?
An ideal diode would match the purpose of a diode without any of the drawbacks. The purpose of a diode is to control current flow - The diode "turns on" for current flowing in one direction, and "turns off" if current wants to flow in the other direction. Ideally, there would be no voltage drop across this diode when allowing current flow, thus no power loss. When the diode is "turned off" by a negative voltage, idealy there would be no current flow (no matter how large the negative voltage).
