Diode: answer key, US style, sheet 2 of 2

  1. Fig. 1

    AK

    Name Diode

    A diode conducts much more readily in its forward direction than in its reverse direction. Real devices also have leakage and reverse breakdown, which this page's simplified models omit.

  2. Fig. 2

    AK

    Name Light-emitting diode

    Two arrows leaving the diode body mark a light-emitting diode.

  3. Fig. 3

    AK

    Name Zener diode

    Bent ends on the cathode bar mark a Zener diode, a diode meant to be used in reverse breakdown.

  4. Fig. 4

    AK

    Name Schottky diode

    Hooked ends on the cathode bar mark a Schottky diode.

  5. Fig. 5

    AK

    Name Photodiode

    Two arrows arriving at the diode body mark a photodiode.
