diodes conduct electricity in only one direction but as ac change direction in each of its cycle diodes can only conduct half of its cycle which will give u a pulsating dc. but if dc is mixed with ac and if it can put whole of its cycle in positive direction diode can conduct ac. so diodes are usually used to produce dc from ac.
If having DC and AC is required then a PWM pulse width modulator is required to chop the DC to make AC
When you connect 230V ac supply directly to a diode with the help of resistor of the order kilo ohms, the diode will conduct on alternate half cycles. Forward bias current will be 230ma for 1KOhm, or 23ma for 10KOhm. Power across the resitor will be 25W for 1KOhm, or 2.5W for 10KOhm. Bottom line - the resistor will get very hot - and if not rated correctly, will be destroyed.
The type of power supply being used (AC or DC) should match the power requirements of the device it will be supplying power to.
yes, diode can be used as rectifier diode to convert ac to dc
zener diode use as power regulator and it removes the small pics generated while the time of conversion by rectifies supply from AC to Dc...it is compulary to fixed a zener diode with rectifiier circuit for the protection of electronics devices....we all know that all electronics eqiupments arework on DC... on more think zener diode available in the series of 74XX ..i hope u satisfied.. ANSWER: It uses its own controlled breakdown voltage as a regulator since the voltage remains the same while current may go up or down caused by the varying input
Bridge diodes are generally used in a bridge rectifier to convert AC into DC.
You get a violent explosion as the diode vaporizes.
1.0A RECTIFIER diode used to convert ac power to dc power
A laptop runs on DC. Either from the battery, or the external power supply, which converts AC power to DC.
IN in IN4001 refers to the type of diode. The IN is a designation used by some manufacturers to indicate that it is an axial lead diode. The IN4001 is a commonly used diode in electronics, often used for rectifying AC signals in power supply circuits.
as diode allows current to flow only in one direction . it is highly used in the conversion ac to dc power supply as in chargers, voltage converters... also used in circuit isolation, as it does not work in reverse biased mode.

Is it 220 ac or 240 ac in Thailand
By definiton, a diode lets electrical current flow only in one direction. A RECTIFIER DIODE is basically the same thing. It is used mainly for power supply operation and can handle higher current flow than a regular diode. Diodes are rated from milliamps to as high as 100 amps per diode depending upon the diode style and amperage rating. A recitifier diode is the same as a "Power diode". Diodes are mainly used to change AC (alternating current) into DC (directo current) which is used by batteries and etc.
Diode: Which allows power in one direction or which converts AC to dc . Converter: Which converts DC to DC
ratio of ac voltage applied across the diode to the ac current flowing through it
