What is a Diode? How Diodes Work?

Hello friends! In this video, I will explain you in detail the structure and working principle of the diode, the most basic circuit element of electronics.

Well, where is the diode used? Now let's take a look. One of the places where diode is used is the bridge type full wave rectifier circuit. In other words, it is the circuit used in the power source or adapters. In this circuit, 4 diodes are used. Thanks to this circuit, the negative alternatives of Alternating Current are converted to positive. This is the first step in converting AC to DC.

An example of where diodes are used is BJT transistors. It consists of combining N and P type materials as well as diodes. While the diode is formed in the form of PN, the BJT transistor consists of a combination of PNP or NPN.

Thyristor and Triac are also formed in similar way. They consist of four N and P type materials combined in the form of NPNP. Hereby, I have tried to explain the basic structure and certain usage areas of the diode.
