Diode

• What type of flow does a diode allow?

  Current flows in one direction only
• What is the resistance characteristic of a diode in the reverse direction?

  Very high resistance in the reverse direction
• How does the resistance of a diode behave in the forward direction?

  Very low resistance in the forward direction
• What is the term for the difference in electrical potential in a circuit?

  Current potential difference
• Why is the diode's behavior important in circuits?

  It allows current to flow in one direction
• How does the resistance of a diode affect its function in a circuit?

  High resistance prevents reverse current flow
• If a diode is placed in a circuit, what will happen to current in the reverse direction?

  Current will be blocked due to high resistance
• In which direction does current flow through a diode?

  In one direction only
