A diode is a two-terminal digital part that conducts electrical present in just one route. Diodes are utilized in all kinds of digital purposes, resembling rectifying AC present, defending circuits from overvoltage, and producing gentle. There are lots of various kinds of diodes, every with its personal distinctive traits and purposes.
The most typical sort of diode is the p-n junction diode. P-n junction diodes are constituted of a semiconductor materials, resembling silicon or germanium. The semiconductor materials is doped with impurities to create a area of optimistic cost (the p-region) and a area of unfavourable cost (the n-region). When a voltage is utilized to the diode, present will circulate from the p-region to the n-region. Nevertheless, present is not going to circulate in the other way.
