text: In open circuited condition, the current that flows through the diode is zero (I = 0).
text: The current that flows through a diode is given by the equation:
text: Thus, when a metal-semiconductor junction is unbiased, then current doesn’t flow in a diode.
text: This current which flows across the diode is nothing but a DC current.
text: There will be a very small and negligible (depends on the circuit) current still flowing though the diode.
text: Forward bias allows current to flow through the diode.
text: Once the forward voltage is reached, however, current flows easily through the diode.
text: Diodes also have a maximum reverse voltage they can withstand before they break down and allow current to flow backward through the diode.
text: Now if reverse applied voltage across the diode is continually increased, then after certain voltage the depletion layer will destroy which will cause a huge reverse current to flow through the diode.
text: Look at the circuit below and use the second approximation of diode and find the current flowing through the diode.
text: When a diode is placed in parallel with the component you want protected reverse biasd, if current flows through the circuit in reverse, the current flows through the diode, bypassing the motor.
text: Because the current flowing through the diode is the same as the current throughout the entire circuit, we can lay down another equation.
text: The X-axis is voltage, and the Y-axis tells you how much current can flow through the diode at that voltage level.
text: The resistance measurement is high when the diode is forward-biased because current from the multimeter flows through the diode, causing the high-resistance measurement required for testing.
text: This condition represents the low resistance path through the PN junction allowing very large currents to flow through the diode with only a small increase in bias voltage.
text: So, no current flows through the diode.
text: When a current flows through the diode there is a small voltage drop across the diode terminals.
text: Whenever a diode is positioned in parallel with the element you want protected reverse biased, if the flow of current through the circuit is in reverse, then the current flows through the diode, go around the motor.
text: Thus, electric current flows through the diode only during the positive half cycle of the AC current.
text: The voltage drop across the diode when current is flowing through the diode in the forward direction.
text: When a diode conducting a forward current is quickly put under reverse bias or is switched off, it takes a small amount of time for the forward current flowing through the diode to die down.
text: When the current is interrupted, the inductor current flows through the diode instead.
text: During the negative half-cycle, current does flow through the diode (electrons move from top to bottom through the diode, travelling in a clockwise direction around the loop).
text: If the PN-junction diode is in the forward biased, then the current flows through the diode.
text: The current which flows from button 2 through the diode to solenoid AR will not be able to get through the diode to button 3 and hence power will not reach solenoid BN.
text: A current is flowing through the diode, and it is forward-biased.
text: When current is flowing through a diode, the voltage on the positive leg is higher than on the negative leg, this is called the diode's forward voltage drop.
text: If you forget which way current flows through a diode, try to remember the mnemonic ACID:
text: This depletion layer (Blockage) has to be broken if the current has to flow through a diode.
text: While current generally flows through a diode in one direction, in some cases the current can be reversed.
text: A relatively high minimum voltage must be reached for current to flow through a diode in the reverse direction.
text: If you forget which way current flows through a diode, try to remember the mnemonic ACID:
text: Current can only flow through a diode when it is connected forward biased.
text: With these descriptions of the ideal diode's characteristics, we can note that any external circuit must limit the forward current that flows through a diode, as well as the reverse voltage across a cutoff diode, to set values.
