Can you use transistor as diode?
its the simplest thing to do. There are three legs in a transistor, one each of collector, base and emitter. So if you need to use it as a diode, just connect either collector-base or emitter-base. Say, if you use an NPN transistor, then the base region will be the anode of diode and emitter or collector will be the cathode of the diode.
What is Transit time in transistor or diode?
A transistor is a switch. A diode directs the flow of current.
How transistor work as a diode?
A: Actually a transistor have two diode with the base mas a common terminal. the characteristics of these tow diodes however are not the same as a common diode
What happens when collector and base of a transistor are short?
this transistor is common emitter configurated transistor nd if emmiter nd collector both terminals are reversed bias then no current will be flowing through th terminal...
Which is better as a switch diode or transistor?
Basically a diode is a combinstion of pN junction but the transistor is made with three terminals EMITTER,, BASE ,, JUNCTION.. and diode is just a combination of positive and negative terminal . diode and transistors are both used as a switch .. but a transistor is more widly udes than a diode. and diode has also very important in electronics DIGITAL SYSTEM to make the screen's ..and transistors are used in amplifiers the group of transistors make an amplifier . and we use a diode in seven segment display ....diode is small and carry less current due to its small size but transistor get large current. A2 A diode has two connections. It allows current to flow in one direction and not in the other. They are used for rectification in power supplies, detection of AM radio, blocking of current etc. A Transistor has three connections. Current is controlled between the emitter and collector, by a small current on the base. They are used as switches, amplifiers and regulators.
What happens when emitter and collector of a transistor are short?
The transistor acts like a normal pn diode. in NPN transistor the both n i.e.,collector and emitter ane shorted then they become a n and other is p so pn diode is formed. When the emitter and the collector of a transistor are short, the emitter current =the collector current.
Is a diode like a transistor?
No. A diode is not like a transistor, and a transistor is not like (two) diode(s). Taken in isolation, the emitter-base and collector-base junctions of a transistor appear to be diodes, but they are coupled together so that the base-emitter current affects the collector-emitter current.

What is transistor action?
The transistor has three regions, emitter,base and collector. The base is much thinner than the emitter while the collector is wider than both. However for the sake of convenience the emitter and collector are usually shown to be of equal size. The transistor has two pn junctions that means it is like two diodes. The junction between emitter and base may be called emitter-base diode or simply the emitter diode.The junction between base and collector may be called collector-base diode or simply collector diode. The emitter diode is always forward biased and the collector diode is always reverse biased.
Did someone ask the question can you use a transistor as a diode there is a device called a transistor diode connect base to either c or e forgot which to make a zero bias diode?
You can use a transistor as a diode if you connect the base to the collector. Any forward current through the base-emitter junction would cause a corresponding increase in the available current through the collector-emitter junction. Since the base-emitter and collector-emitter junctions are in parallel, this would effectively be a diode, but a true diode would be a better solution if diode functionality is what seek. A: There are actually two diodes, per se, inside a transistor. The base to emitter diode will suffice. By tying the collector to the base it will in effect be two diodes in parallel.
What is Transit time in transistor or diode?
A transistor is a switch. A diode directs the flow of current.
Can you use transistor as a rectifier?
No, a Transistor operates with a modulated direct current. You need 4 Diodes to manufacture a rectifier to deliver direct current at the outlet, with alternating current at the input. A Diode is effectively a one way valve to address one halve of the cycle of the alternating current.
The transistor acts like a diode and?
Yes, the transistor acts like a diode. That is, essentially, what it does. What it also does, and what give it its added value and ability to amplify, is that the base current causes the collector-emitter "diode" junction to vary in its turn-on characteristic. With this ability, you can control a large current with a small current, and a small delta-current in the base causes a larger delta-current in the collector, the ratio being hFe, hence the term "gain".
