What is the function of diode what is the function of diode?
A diode is used primarily as a Rectifier
Can a diode be used as rectifier diode?
yes, diode can be used as rectifier diode to convert ac to dc
Can diode be used as rectifier?
yes ofcourse diode can be used as rectifier but it's an uncontrolled rectification.
Why tunnel diode differ from the rectifier diode?
tunnel diodethe doping level of the tunnel diode is high when compared with the rectifier diodeit exhibits negative resistancerectifier diodethe doping level of rectifier diode is low when compared with the tunnel diode
Why transfer characteristics cannot be obtained for a bridge rectifier?
Its because one of the diode gets shorted.The diode in the left lower arm in a bridge rectifier gets shorted by the ground points of both the cro and the function generator.
What effect does an open diode have on the output voltage of a half wave rectifier and on a full wave rectifier?
An open diode will result in no output from a half wave rectifier, and an open diode will cut the output of a full wave rectifier in half.
How can we Diode can be used as a rectifier?
A diode is used to stop the negative voltage swing in an AC signal, so you only get the positive portions.diode-rectifier
What isDifference between ordinary rectifier and precision rectifier?
A simple rectifier circuit uses a diode and there is a turn ON voltage for the diode. The input voltage has to exceed the turn ON voltage (0.6V for ordinary Si diode) before rectification is achieved. A precision rectifier is an active circuit using an opamp and a diode in the feedback loop. This overcomes the turn-on "knee" voltage. The op amp reduces the turn-on voltage of a diode in its feedback loop by a factor equal to the open-loop gain of the op amp. For practical op amp gains this reduces the forward voltage to a fraction of a mV, thus giving a "precision" or near ideal diode characteristic for the rectifier function.
What are merits and demerits of bridge rectifier?
Merits a diode bridge rectifier is simple to build
What does an alternator diode rectifier do?
The alternator diode rectifier converts the AC current being produced by the alternator to DC from which most of the electronics installed and battery use.
Difference between 4 diodes and 2 diodes rectifier?
a 2 diode rectifier is a center tap rectifier an a 4 diode rectifier will be a bridge rectifier *********************************************************** A two-diode rectifier is not always a centre-tap rectifier. If the two diodes are connected to the same end of a transformer's secondary, one by its anode and one by its cathode, one will proved a positive voltage with respect to trhe other end of the winding and the other will provide a negative voltage. (But perhaps that isn't considered a two-diode rectifier - but a two single-diode ones.)
What is N4001 diode?
1.0A RECTIFIER diode used to convert ac power to dc power
