The 1Nxxxx numbering system is an American standard (now adopted globally) used to mark semiconductor devices. The "1N" means that it is a single junction semiconductor device (i.e. a diode). "4001" is a number given to the smallest diode in the 400x series (4001, 4002, and so on) - the number indicates the voltage, current and power ratings of the diode. A transistor (which has 2 junctions) would be numbered 2Nxxxx. 1-single junction semiconductor device N-Silicon device 400-its a particular series whose max allowed current is 1A. x- it denotes the voltage rating. 1-50V,2-100V,3-200V... 7-1000V.
IN IN = 1N: Refers to the number of junctions (1N= 1 junction). O= Germanium, A= rectifier diode, so OA = germanium rectifier diode.
The two leads on a diode are called the anode and the cathode.
A diode is unidirectional because of the diode only conduct in forwardbias .As you know the diode have two terminal cathode and anode . and when the positive terminal of battery connected to the p-side and other terminal connected to the other terminal of diode then diode is called forward biased . and when it connection is just opposite then it become in reverse biased . so we can finally say that the diode is unidirectional
A: heat And PIV(Peak Inverse Voltage) or so called Peak Reverse Voltage is limit the diode characteristics.
A: 1N400X signify a power rectifier series the last the X define the reverse voltage breakdown sustainable capability A 1N4001 is for example a 50V reverse voltage breakdown A 1N4007 is a 1000V reverse voltage breakdown
IN IN = 1N: Refers to the number of junctions (1N= 1 junction). O= Germanium, A= rectifier diode, so OA = germanium rectifier diode.
A; The 1N4xxx series of rectifier diodes are specified as 1 amp forward conduction. the last number signify the maxi mun reverse voltage it can sustain without breakdown.
The read type diode are called impatt diode
Its not, a diode is unidirectional.

YES
Diode rectifies the AC signal. So it was called as rectifier. ******************************************** Rectification means changing a.c. to d.c. A diode is a one-way device, i.e. it allows current to pass in only one direction, so it is the obvious choice for rectification.
the current which has negative value n passes through the diode is called as diode reverse current
A: 1N400X signify a power rectifier series the last the X define the reverse voltage breakdown sustainable capability A 1N4001 is for example a 50V reverse voltage breakdown A 1N4007 is a 1000V reverse voltage breakdown
diode:= di+ iode di means two,and iode means terminal,,,, diode is two terminal device i.e anode and cathode
