What's a diode..??? How does it act as a rectifier??

Mashutka [201]4 years ago

A diode is a semiconductor device that essentially acts as a one-way switch for current. It allows current to flow easily in one direction, but severely restricts current from flowing in the opposite direction.

A rectifier is a device that converts an Alternating Current (AC) into a Direct Current (DC) by using one or more contact diodes. ... In simple words, a diode allows current in just one direction. This unique property of the diode allows it to act sort of a rectifier by converting an alternating current to a DC source

Two objects, one having three times the mass of the other, are dropped from the same height in a vacuum. At the end of their fal
gogolik [260]

Answer:

Two objects will have the equal velocities but the forces on both of them will not be equal. The equal velocities of these objects are due to their equal acceleration.

Explanation:

From the newton's equation

v^{2} -u^{2} = 2as

so here we can say that velocity does not depends on the mass.

The acceleration of both objects will be same but not the forces because

F = Ma

As the force is depending on the mass so it will not be the same for both objects.

A major artery with a 1.7 cm2 cross-sectional area branches into 18 smaller arteries, each with an average cross-sectional area
Alex

Answer:

0.14

Explanation:

Flow rate is the volume flowing through a point at a particular time, in calcuing flow rate we have

Q= v*t

it in terms of Area, we have Q= A*v

Where A= area

v= velocity.

Solving the question , flow rate is constant then

A*v= constant

A(i) v(i)= A(f) v(f)

Where A(i)= initial area= 1.00cm^2

A(f)= final area= 0.400cm^2

V(i) and V(f) are the initial and final velocity respectively and the ratio of the two will gives us the factor

Substitute the values into the equation we have

1 V(i)= 4 V(f)

But we were told that the cross sectional area of 1.00cm^2 branches into 18 smaller arteries.

Then

1 V(i)=0.4 V(f)*(18)

1 V(i)=7.2V(f)

Then if we find the ratio of the velocity, we will get the factor.

V(f)/V(i)= 1/7.2

V(f)/V(i)=0.14

Hence, the factor of the average velocity of the blood reduced when it passes into these branches is 0.14

Which way do electric field lines point?
Jlenok [28]

At any point, the electric field points in the direction of the force
on a positive point-charge located there.  So the lines point away
from a positive charge, and toward a negative one.
