What is a diode and how does it work?
In: 0
Have you ever played Minecraft? Are you familiar with the redstone repeater? Because that’s essentially the function of a diode. It doesn’t increase signal strength the way a redstone repeater does, but it does significantly limit the current attempting to flow in the opposite direction.
The way they function allows the to do several things, such as convert AC current to DC, and be used in temperature sensors, are necessary components to tune a radio, and can even be used to produce light (which you would know as a light emitting diode, or LED).
