Fast Recovery Diode : Construction, Working, Circuit, Differences & Its Applications
A diode is a two-terminal semiconductor device like; an anode and cathode where the anode is the positive end and the cathode is the negative end. The main function of a diode is to allow the flow of current only in a single direction from the anode terminal to the cathode. To remember in which way current supplies throughout a diode, you have to remember the mnemonic ACID which stands for “anode current in diode" or anode-cathode is a diode. These components are the most significant electronic … [Read more...]
