D.I.O.D.E

Diode?,,actually diode is a type of two-terminal electric component with a nonlinear current-voltage characterisitics.A semiconductor diode, the most common type today, is a crystalline piece of semiconductor material connected to two electrical terminals. Semiconductor diodes are widely used throughout all areas of the electronics industry from electronics design through to production and repair.


Have you ever seen this before?


Diode is made in many types such as LED(Light Emitting Diode), Zener diode, Laser diode etc. But for our lesson last week, only LED and diode have been used because they are familiar diodes and can be seen in almost all stuffs.

it is familiar to you right?

En. Ridzuan added some data, diagrams and components that made it very clear to us about this diode. In overall of his class last week, we managed to learn how to calculate the value of diode using multimeter and did data collection in the form provided by lecturer.
This is the symbol of diode.
