What is a ordinary diode?
A diode is an electronic component that will only allow current to flow through it in one direction. It is analogous to the valve in a bicycle tyre, which only lets air in but not out (except when you press the release tab). So if you connect a diode in a simple DC circuit one way around, the circuit will be closed and any devices on the circuit will work. If you connect it the other way around the circuit is open and no current will flow. I presume by 'ordinary diode' you mean a diode that is not a light emitting diode (LED). A LED is just a diode that emits light when current flows through it. Its purpose is to make light. A non-LED diode doesn't emit light. Its purpose is to allow current through a circuit in only one direction. A common use for ordinary diodes is in "rectifying circuits" which convert AC to DC.There are many other uses though.
A diode converts AC to pulsed?
If you put a diode in series with an AC sine wave that goes plus and minus, it will cut off either the positive or negative portion of the waveform, depending on the direction of the diode in circuit. So in effect you have a pulse equal to one half cycle of the sine wave.
What property of a diode enables it to convert ac to dc?
A diode allows electrons to pass only in one direction. During the negative half cycle of an alternating current the diode will not allow electron current to pass. It is like a one way valve. This property of diode enables it to convert AC into pulsated DC
What is ac resistance of a diode?
ratio of ac voltage applied across the diode to the ac current flowing through it
Why diode is used?
The purpose of a diode is to direct the flow of current in a circuit. Diodes function by allowing current flow in only one direction (acting as a short when current is applied at one end) and resisting current flow from the opposite direction (acting as an open circuit). Electronic devices such as full wave rectifiers use a series of diodes to convert AC to DC current.
What is bridge rectifire?
A four diode circuit to change ac to dc
Why is there a diode on the ground wire of the AC compressor clutch?
to avoid radio signal interference.
How do you connect a diode across a ac coil?
You mean ac coil, the secondary coil, of a transformer? Then for the purpose of rectification, that is , for changing ac into dc, a diode is connected in series with the secondary coil of the transformer.

What type of diode circuit is used to add or restore a ac level to an electrical signal?
a clamp
Are diodes only used in a dc circuit?
There are lots of diodes - a "diode" is simply a device that has two electrical connections.If you refer specifically to the rectifying diode, it is used to convert AC current to DC current - so, it is used in a circuit that has BOTH AC and DC.
