DEFINITION, FUNCTION, APPLICATION AND PARTS OF DIODE
DIODE
A diode is a two-terminal electronic component that allows electric current to flow primarily in one direction. DIODE
FUNCTIONS OF A DIODE Diodes acts like a one-way valve, permitting current to flow in one direction called forward bias but also blocking it in the opposite direction referred as reverse bias . This process of controlling current flow is crucial as it protects the circuit from sudden power connection. Other than that, diodes can also function in a way that it turns AC into DC improving the power supplies for electronic devises.
