The semi conductor diode has the property of:
Correct answer: C. One way conduction
- A. Two way conduction
- B. Zero conduction
- C. One way conduction
- D. Amplification
Explanation
A semiconductor diode is a device that permits the flow of electric current in only one direction and is made from a silicon or germanium semiconductor material. Semiconductor diode characteristics include unidirectional current flow, a non-linear voltage-current characteristic, and low forward resistance.

About Electronics
A p-n junction forms when p-type and n-type semiconductor regions meet, creating a depletion layer, barrier potential and rectifying action. The work covers forward and reverse bias, junction current, diode characteristics, and how a diode converts alternating current into pulsating direct current through half-wave and full-wave rectification.
