What is Diode?

A diode is a semiconductor device that acts as a one-way switch for current. It allows current to flow easily in one direction (forward bias) but severely restricts current flow in the opposite direction (reverse bias). Diodes are commonly used in rectifiers (converting AC to DC), voltage regulation, signal modulation, and as switches.
