The semi-conductor diode has the property of _.
Correct answer: B. One way conduction
- A. Negative
- B. One way conduction
- C. Two way conduction
- D. None of these
Explanation
"One-way conduction" refers to the property of a diode or semiconductor device that allows the flow of electrical current in only one direction. Diodes are specifically designed to facilitate this unidirectional flow, enabling current to pass freely in the forward direction (when a voltage applied across the diode allows conduction) while offering high resistance or blocking current flow in the reverse direction (when the voltage polarity opposes conduction). This property is fundamental in rectification and in controlling the direction of electrical currents in electronic circuits.

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.
