Q: What is the primary function of a diode? (2022)
Solution:
A diode primarily functions to rectify current, allowing it to flow in one direction only.
Steps: 6
Show Steps
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.
