Thanks for your very clear and simple explanation of a diode. I studied Electronic Engineering 30 years ago and your explanation is very easy to understand and spot on. I wish we were taught like this back in the day. I look forward to more of your electronic component explanations as it reminds me of the old days. Thanks.
It's not that easy lol. When diode is forward biased, there's - Injection of charge carriers (holes at P side, electrons at N side). - Subsequent diffusion (movement of charge carriers due to concentration gradient, i.e. holes move away from P side & towards N side, meanwhile electrons move asay from N side & towards P side) - Drift (movement of charge carriers due to electric field) - Recombination (because hole cannot carry longer in N side & electrons cannot last longer in P side) All above keeps happening. When diode is reverse biased, - Even when diode is unbiased, naturally holes move from P to N region and electrons move from N to P. - This diffusion causes recombination of holes & electrons (thus no charge carriers at junction). - Once few carriers are moved, some atoms are ionized & it creates electric field internally (which should be overcome to flow current, that's why diodes have threshold/knee voltage) & Further no diffusion is possible. - By reverse bias, this gets even worse (like opposite of carrier injection). Carriers move away from junction & hence depletion width increases even more, hence no way to flow current)
And the fact that if you put two valves back to back blocking each direction, you suddenly get a transistor, which allows water to flow completely unrestricted. That's some black magic.
@@phillyphakename1255 not really You put pressure in the middle and it allows the valves to open Think of the valves having an extra mechanism which opens when pressure hits it
I like how I’m in automotive tech class, and rn I’m doing the electronic parts of it, RUclips decides to recommended these to me which help a lot. Thanks for the videos
I often wonder if there are other hypothetical electrical components that would be useful but that nobody has thought of, or that we just don't know how to make.. Or do we know for certain that all the simple components that we _could_ make we have already made?
Of course there'll be electrical components that we haven't yet discovered their usefulness in electronic circuits... There's a plethora of combinations of elements that haven't been tried in circuits and some with potential are not yet mass produced so the cost still outweighs the benefits...
One is Memristor,.....and there can be many. While studying especially 'Theory of Electrical Elements and Components' in Electrical Engg. you will come to know about many mathematically possible and physically realized systems based on that.
The way you present and display information makes it not only easy to retain, but also explain to somebody else, therefore strengthening one’s understanding.
Your shorts are amazing! I would love to understand electricity better. These shorts have helped me immensely. I'm going to start on the full-length videos next!
The swing gate has a stiff spring holding it closed, just a little pressure can’t overcome it and flow but increase the pressure and it can overcome the spring though there is a drop in pressure. That is the forward voltage drop of the diode.
@@ItsdirtnaptimeIt’s to keep you in an endless loop of watching the RUclips shot Idk why people do this tho cause I don’t think I give and extra view Unless I’m wrong and it does give extra views….
very recently a HUUGE power surge happened to the house. It keeps happening. The 52" TV died. Just about to purchase new replacement guts for it But I purchasd an inexpensive UPS (uninteruptible power supply. basically a power strip with a battery). Everything on the 52" TV came back to life! The rectifier system made everything work! Diodes are amazing
Well, yes and no.. A transistor isn't really a "diode plus diode" as much as it's a "diodediode" (or really more of a "diodeedoid", I guess?). It only works if all of the component pieces are right next to each other in a single piece of silicon (and are the right sizes and have specific contact areas, etc), so you can't just take two diodes like these and wire them together and get a transistor (unfortunately).
that is a little misleading but, in terms of water pipes you can still think of transistor as a manual valve instead of a swing valve by placing two valves (like the one in the short) opposite to each other but they would have to be operated manually by pulling the gates with some sort of handle or rope. but just putting two of these at a distance with out any type of control over their gates, wouldn't really work or pass any water.
@@AliAhmed-cq6dv except that the rope should be replaced with a water mechanism because transistor require electricity in middle pin And weird stuff can happen if you wire it up wrong
Diodes/rectifiers are used prominently in the field of cathodic protection, to protect pipelines, underground storage tanks, etc., from corrosion. This was my career for 32 years. Most people have no idea what it is.
Unless it is a Zener Diode.Zener diodes are primarily used for voltage regulation, voltage clamping, and protection against voltage spikes or transients in circuits. They maintain a stable voltage across their terminals, even when the current varies.
Some professors are obsessed with formulas, graphs but this is of no use if the student does not even understand the working principle. Start there, explain for even a child to understand and this way you make the student curious what stands behind the scenes (formulas, graphs etc...)
“it will break if we exceed its limits” aka it becomes a fuse. thats why LED christmas lights don’t need a fuse for every bulb like in the 90’s, they’re their own fuses
ahhh thanks for explaining.. never understoo what a diode really was and was always wondering how i could make a closed circuit board if i couldn't make sure how to prevent electricity from flowing back to the components.. like flash capacitors..
Thank you for this... Now i know what diode use for. Is just like when a DC battery accidentally puts a wrong polarity and that diode protects all component
Can you explain the interior design of these like you did the resistor? Seeing how the interior looped and how making more loop increases the distance really helped solidify its functionality in my mind.
not just any rectifier, that is a FULL BRIDGE RECTIFIER!! electroboom would be proud.

I use water to describe electricity. You have the temperature of water, the quantity of water and the flow of water. Don’t drown.

@@Python-FPV I'm only 100 years old
Whats more interesting is the materials used and how they are 'sandwiched' together to acheive the 'one-way valve'.
This is indeed more interesting.
And the fact that if you put two valves back to back blocking each direction, you suddenly get a transistor, which allows water to flow completely unrestricted. That's some black magic.
So the current would come through the middle at the butt joint and flow out the open ends?
@@phillyphakename1255 not really
You put pressure in the middle and it allows the valves to open
Think of the valves having an extra mechanism which opens when pressure hits it
@phillyphakename1255
A transistor is something that is converting something from something by way of induction
My electrical engineering teacher in college always used water analogies to explain theory and it made everything click so well
There is even a method to represent a resistance with water

This is a great series. Not a second wasted.

It’s not a loop.
You can also get diodes that reduces voltage as well as only letting current flow one way
I feel like all of these electrical engineering videos end with "if you push it too far, it explodes :)"
A diode is basically an electrical check valve
So basically it's like a one-way valve for electrical current. It only allows current to flow in one direction.
You explained the concept my teachers took days to explain
