    I remember which end is the anode because the arrowhead in the symbol for a diode looks like an "A" (for Anode) on its side. It points in the direction of "conventional" positive-to-negative (P-to-N) current flow, which reminds me that the anode has P-type semiconductor, and the cathode has N-type semiconductor. The vertical line for the cathode represents a wall that blocks "conventional" current from going from cathode to anode. That "wall" is represented by a ring marked around the cathode end of a "physical" diode.

    a diode is a semiconducting device that allows current to flow in one direction, so this is the electrical symbol of a diode.
    Conventional current will flow in the direction of the arrow. It wont flow in the opposite direction of the arrow, the only way you can make it flow in that direction is if you apply a very high voltage because any insulator can become a conductor if the volatge applied is very very high, there's always a breakdown voltage to an insulator but for practical purposes a diode conducts electricity in one direction. Now keep in mind this is opposite to the electron flow

      Researchers who study the psychology of learning have found that the order in which you learn something is not important. That is good because we rarely have the time or opportunity to start something "from the beginning," which is different for different people because of their different backgrounds. It is fine to "fill in" your understanding as needed. I can't say much more because UA-cam does not allow posts that provide or even suggest links elsewhere.

    Electrons flow from negative to positive?

    • @farjanasharminswarna2450
      @farjanasharminswarna2450 5 років тому +31

      Yes. Electrons flow from negatively charged area to positively charged area. Therefore, current which is a flow of electron vacancy or hole, flows from positive to negative. If you add a battery to a circuit then current will flow from the positive terminal of the battery towards the negative terminal of the battery through all the other elements in the circuit.
      To ease the confusion, think of heat flow according to thermodynamics. Heat flows from high temperature area to low temperature area. Also if you think of water, it flows towards the area where water is less or the pressure is less.
      Just like that everything in nature flows from it's majority towards it's minority.
      In a negatively charged area, electrons are higher in number. So electron flows from negative to positive.
      Current flows in the opposite direction of electron flow. So, current flows from positive to negative.

      It is on because the source voltage is in negative value, flowing through the cathode (negative terminal) side of the diode. If the negative voltage source is flowing through the anode (positive terminal) then the current wont flow.

    At @6:20 he assumes the voltage across the diode is exactly 0.7V, but there is no reason to assume this! Surely, the diode can have a range of possible voltage values across it, as seen in the diode's Voltage, Current graph @3:30. This variable diode Voltage presumably increases as a result of increasing the source Voltage. In light of this point, how does one then properly calculate the resulting voltages, and current?

      @JordanEdmundsEECS 6 років тому +5

      Any electrical component with a positive voltage across it and a positive current flowing into the positive terminal consumes power.
