Bidirestional
Relays are bidirectional devices.
Its not, a diode is unidirectional.
Unidirectional TVS: A TVS device with asymmetrical current versus voltage (I−V) properties. A unidirectional TVS is best suited for protecting circuit nodes whose signals are unidirectional or always above or below the reference voltage, usually ground. Bidirectional TVS: A TVS device with symmetrical I−V properties. A bidirectional TVS is best suited for protecting electrical nodes whose signals are bidirectional or can have voltage levels both above and below the reference voltage, usually ground
Data flow is always bidirectional my friend, don't confuse.
Faraday's law : If a "conductor" is placed in a "magnetic field" the movement in either conductor or field produces an induced emf in the conductor. In generator the produced torque will be in AC(alternating current) so commutator or slip rings is used to produce unidirectional torque required for production of Direct Current. Basically by Faraday law the produced torque will be always bidirectional, for alternator the bidirectional torque can be used directly. for DC generator the unidirectional torque is needed to produce Direct Current.
A unidirectional amplifier & a Bidirectional amplifier
Bidirectional sampling gates allow signals to pass in both directions, enabling two-way communication, while unidirectional sampling gates permit signal flow in only one direction. This fundamental difference affects their applications; bidirectional gates are often used in scenarios requiring feedback or two-channel systems, whereas unidirectional gates are typically employed in simpler, one-way transmission systems. Additionally, bidirectional gates may introduce more complexity in design and control compared to their unidirectional counterparts.
The optical fiber can be used both as unidirectional and bidirectional. The main application of optical fiber is in long-distance links, so there exists no need to employ them as unidirectional. For each direction different wavelengths are used to modulat the signals. At the same time many bidirectional signals can travel through the same optical fiber.
Silicon Controlled Rectifiers (SCRs) cannot be used as bidirectional switches because they are designed to conduct current in only one direction. When forward-biased, an SCR can be triggered into conduction, but it cannot be turned off by simply reversing the voltage; it requires the current to drop below a certain threshold. This unidirectional characteristic limits their application in circuits where bidirectional current flow is needed, such as in AC applications. For such purposes, devices like TRIACs or bidirectional thyristors are more suitable.
the current which flows in only one specific direction is called as unidirectional current
The arc is the line that connects two nodes in a network. There are two kinds of arcs; unidirectional and bidirectional. Unidirectional means the flow is in one direction (if you are studying for example the water supply system in a city). Bidirectional means the flow is in both directions. Network models are very helpful to simplify real problems.
A battery produces direct current (DC) because the flow of electric charge is unidirectional, from the positive terminal to the negative terminal. This is in contrast to alternating current (AC), which changes direction periodically.
