Introduction to Diode: What is Diode ? V-I characteristics of the Diode Explained

In this video, the diode and its V-I characteristics have been explained.

The following topics have been discussed in the video.

0:43 What is Diode?

1:53 V-I characteristics of Diode

3:57 Ideal Diode and it's V-I characteristics

6:49 The ideal diode with the threshold voltage

10:04 The ideal diode with a threshold voltage and resistance

12:41 Piece-wise linear characteristics of the diode

What is a diode?

The diode is two terminal semiconductor element which allows the flow of current in one direction. (It's unilateral element)
The one terminal of the diode is known as the anode and another terminal is known as the cathode.

Forward Bias:
when the applied voltage across the anode and cathode is positive then the diode allows the flow of current and it is said to be forward biased.

Reverse Bias:
If the applied voltage is negative then it will not allow the flow of current and diode is said to be reversed biased.

V-I characteristics of the diode:

Using V-I characteristics of the diode, it is easy to find the voltage and current in the circuit which contains the diode.

The diode is a non-linear element. It means the relationship between voltage and current is non-linear. Because of the non-linear relationship, it is a bit difficult to analyze the circuit which has a diode.

And to analyze the circuit, different diode approximations are used.
In the video, different diode approximations have been discussed.

At the end of the video, different diode parameters have been discussed.

This video will be helpful to everyone for getting the basic overview of the diode and understanding the V-I characteristics of the diode.

Thank you Sir, you made it simple and clear for me to understand Diodes.... from South Africa

[eloisamarietulay]

If I already have passed the board exam in the future for electrical engineers, I'd be forever grateful to have found this channel somewhere during my undergrad years. Thank you very much!
Transforming lives, you do.

[sunitashende]

Not lying.. The best silent explaination ever .. Sir plz.. Keep this up u nailed it...!

[srivatsaa.r.]

sir,
yr video on INTRODUCTION TO DIODE IS ONE AMONGST THE FEW BEST VIDEOS PRODUCED TILL TODAY.
HERE ALL IMP INFORMATION TO BE REMEMBERED ARE BROUGHT OUT VERY CLEARLY AND IS PRAISE WORTHY.
IT IS A WORTH VEDIO TO BE SHOWN IN ALL ITI'S, POLYTECHNIC DIPLOMA, AND ENGG COLLEGE ELECTRONIC STUDENTS.
WELL EXECUTED.
THANKS
S.VATSA, BANGALORE

Really impressive and more understandable core concepts, i had learned this basic diode concepts completely and stored on my mind ... Thank you so much sir, from INDIA, TAMIL NADU. 🎉🎉🎉

[abdallah]

Thank you very much, I have started liking electronics because of you

[jendenhere]

You are too good man....loved the way you presented and explained the video

[gutsfuck]

this is the exact information i need. perfect video. i love you

[Yazidn]

This, sir, was amazing! It cleared up many things for me personally, you have a fine method of teaching, that is very much appreciated!

[jemberubl]

Thank you for your great contribution to my education.you are teaching in understandable way.thank you alot

[SURAJSINGH-ctjt]

Sir I really love your videos, it's too good and you teach in very simple ways, ...😇😇😇

[christophertan]

The best video I have seen explaining diodes in an intuitive way that is easy to understand. Subscribed to your channel!

I am actually watching your videos because I wish to learn about solar cells. I understand solar cells are essentially PN junction diodes which is why I am watching your video. Aside from semiconductor physics, diodes, pn junction diodes, what else should I learn about so that I am fully ready to learn about solar cells?

Would be grateful if you can answer my question :D

[arsal]

i came across this channel during my electronics class, and i think i am saved

[imskr]

very helpful to clear basic concepts of diode.

[akshatpanda]

Thank you sir. It was highly informative.

[RakeshKumar-jjjj]

Sir can you share its notes i m betch 2nd year student and i need your notes😢

[charlesyecla]

bro got student who keeps on answering his questions. can't unhear

[funnyoceanofmemes]

thanks sir it is very helpful and i can easily understand the concept❣❣❣❣❣

[SURAJSINGH-ctjt]

Sir can you plz make the video on different words uses in electronics with their meaning because many time when I read the book, due to some words I don't understand the concept properly, so plz make video on different words which are mostly use in electronics...
