Source sentences:
text: If it reads OL, this means the diode is opened, blocking all currents.
text: The diode simply blocks any current from leaving the battery if it is reversed -- this protects the sensitive electronics in the device.
text: If you put it in reverse it will block the current instead of rectifying it.
text: You'd imagine that no current could flow through a transistor because back-to-back diodes would block current both ways.
text: When you manage to slip a battery into a circuit backward, then your diode will block any current from flowing, and this is called a reverse-biased state.
