Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is the primary function of a diode? (2022)
  • Step 1: Understand what a diode is. A diode is a small electronic component.
  • Step 2: Learn about current. Current is the flow of electricity.
  • Step 3: Know that there are two types of current: alternating current (AC) and direct current (DC).
  • Step 4: Recognize that a diode allows current to flow in only one direction.
  • Step 5: Understand that this one-way flow is called rectification.
  • Step 6: Conclude that the primary function of a diode is to convert AC to DC by allowing current to flow in one direction only.
