Basics and Types of Diodes

Introduction to Diode: A diode is an electrical component that only allows one path of electricity to flow while restricting the other. Despite the existence of other diode technologies, the semi-conductor diode is the most common type of diode used in modern circuit design. Historically, the word "diode" has been reserved for small signal appliances, I 1 A. When a diode is used in a straightforward battery light circuit, the diode will either allow or prevent current flow through the lamp, depending on the polarization of the supplied voltage. Although there are many different types of diodes, they all serve the same basic purpose. The silicon diode, which is housed in a glass cylinder, is the most common type of diode. The  symbol of diode is represented as follows: Diode Operation: When a voltage signal is applied across the terminals of a diode, the diode begins to operate. Biasing is the process of applying a DC volt to a diode to initiate operation in a circuit. Since a...

👉🏻Ohm's law  INTRODUCTION TO OHM'S LAW    In 1826 Georg Simon Ohm discovered that for metallic conductors there is substantially constant ratio of the potential difference between the ends of the conductor.  What is Ohm's Law? This is the fundamental relationship between electric current, voltage, and resistance. It states that the current flowing through a conductor is directly proportional to the voltage applied across it, and inversely proportional to its resistance. Mathematically, it is expressed as I = V/R, where I is the current in amperes, V is the voltage in volts, and R is the resistance in ohms. Ohm's Law equation    I- current V-voltage R- resistance Ohm's law is explained by the following statemen 👉🏻Kirchhoff's current law INTRODUCTION TO KIRCHHOFF'S LAW   Kirchhoff's laws are two equalities that deal with the conservation of energy and charge in electrical circuits. They are named after German physicist Gustav Kirchhoff, who first for...
