^Uses of diode
A diode can be used as
- rectifiers (to convert dc to ac),
- LED (produce light on forward biasing a diode)
- solar cells (using solar energy to produce emf)
- photodiodes (to produce reverse current which can be controlled with intensity of light)
- Zener diodes (to converting fluctuating dc to constant dc)
- fast switching OR – gate & AND – gate
