type: MANNER
value: through itself
type: MANNER
Source sentences:
text: During the negative half cycle, the diode is reverse biased (cathode more positive than anode) blocking current flow through itself and as a result has no effect on the negative half of the sinusoidal voltage which passes to the load unaltered.
text: It blocks the current flow in the opposite direction (reverse bias i.e. Anode to the -Ve terminal and Cathode to the +Ve terminal).
