Bro little you know you are raising kids because of your passion in teaching. I started watching you since highschool learning algebra, now I'm college studying computer engineering. You've taught me calculus, circuits, physics etc. I've learned so much from you, thankyou. now i graduated, proud cumlaude🥰

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.
Thank you so much for immediately differentiating conventional current vs actual electron flow in your demonstration. The difference here has confused me when reading schematics ever since I was a young student-age child.
Another great lecture about diodes. I like the examples at the end. My only wish is that he elaborate on what it means to be a n-type or p-type in physical terms.
@@DiodeMom For sure! This guy's lectures are a great introduction to electronics but he's teaching me also exactly how much more there is to learn about electronics! I'm sure that some of his lectures are meant actually for electrical engineering students whose knowledge is more extensive than mine 🤔
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 (
I've been enjoying your videos. They are extremely helpful as I learn about the terminology in my electrical/instrumentation textbooks. Could you recommend a particular order of viewing your videos to build the basic foundation to understanding these theories better? Thanks
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.
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.
@@mrbushpilot current is electron flow, but it flows in direction opposite to electrons just like positive charges. Negative charges flow from negative to positive(lower potential to higher) and positive charges flow vice versa.
In 11:44, isn't that the diode is OFF because the forward voltage applied across its terminals does not exceed the diode's forward voltage threshold, which is according to the video is 0.7 volts? Please advise.
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.
As far as I know, the operating points including the voltage level can change based on the resistance but you assumed that the voltage across the diode was 0.7V. Can you explain why?
Hi. I'm new to this zener diode voltage regulation. Do you have a video where your output is charging a battery, with internal resistance. I want to know how much ohm resistor is required with input voltage of , say 16vdc and regulated output of 14vdc. Thanks.
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?
I dont unerstand why the naming is different compared to a battery. I thought the anode of a battery was the negatively charged terminal that has excess electrons, so why would the anode of a diode be the electron deficient part that contains holes, its just confusing. I was just reading somehting and had a thought: Is the anode of a battery actually initially positively charged, becoming negatively charged only when the chemical reaction happens within the battery and the resulting free electrons are attracted towards it?
Does diode block the flow of electrons as it does to current in flowing in one direction, since electrons flow in opposition with current. I.e diode allow current flow in one direction, block it in opposite direction, while electrons flow in opposite direction, will the electron b blocked hence it's flowing in the direction diode is blocking. Reply pls.
Hey, I think you made a mistake. Electric components in the electric circuits never consume power unless they have internal resistance. Since you provided that the diode has a voltage of .7 volts, this means it is ideal one so it has no resistance and, thus, consumes no power
Any electrical component with a positive voltage across it and a positive current flowing into the positive terminal consumes power. The idea of "resistance" is only a linear approximation to much more complex phenomena, such as what happens in a diode. The only power equation that always applies is P =V*I
Is it optional that a diode would be on if the voltage flowing across the diode is exactly 0.7? What would happen if the voltage is less or more than 0.7?
If the voltage supplied across the diode is less than the diode voltage, then the diode won't "Turn On". Otherwise, the the voltage supplied across the diode exceeds the diode voltage, then the diode will "Turn On".
In my solar panel my schoty diodes are with the negative terminal of the diode toward the positive, but in your circuit are the opposite, i can't guess why, i will study this tonight?

If there is a voltage drop of .7 volts across the diode it must be consuming current when it's in the forward bias mode. Its simple ohm's law.
You cannot guarantee the voltage across the diode will always be 0.7 V can you? It depends on other resistors in the circuit
@@bestbronzena4918 no, it’s always .7 with a diode

Hi. I have a doubt on a dicode question to ask Are you able to help
Please do explain on transistors also.
Am having problems...please
great video
Now i got they are reverse biased to impede current through poitive and negative and let i flows to the cables.
Just wanted to know, the power of a current is (currents)²voltage right? But he wrote p= vi
No, I will write the true formulas here:
P= V * I
P = V²/R
P = I² * R
P: power - I: current - V: voltage - R: resistance
my notes are not on my side , your videos are .
That current placement is wrong there 07:17 that current is the current that passed the resistor not the initial current
Conventional Current Flows from the Cathode to the Anode against the Arrow.
Is it optional that a diode would be on if the voltage flowing across the diode is exactly 0.7?
What would happen if the voltage is less or more than 0.7?
If the voltage supplied across the diode is less than the diode voltage, then the diode won't "Turn On". Otherwise, the the voltage supplied across the diode exceeds the diode voltage, then the diode will "Turn On".
