Compare diode and zener diode?
Diode is a pn junction device which conducts (current flow)in forward direction. Zener diode is a device in which current flows in forward direction as well as in reverse direction.For a Zener...

Is the diode and semiconductor diodes are the same?
Today, all diodes are semiconductor diodes. However, the first diodes were piles of washers of different metals that together made a diode, and specially constructed vacuum tubes. There may still be...

What is different between Diode and Zener diode?
Zener diode is a special type of diode .an ordinery diode doesnt conducts current (but leakage current in the range of micro amps flows ) in reverse biased condition.as we increase reverse voltage...

What is a diode and define some applications of diodes?
A diode is a semiconductor device that passes current in one direction only. Sometimes, in the case of zener diodes, it conducts in both directions, but at a different voltage in the reverse...
