A Diode is an electronic part that allows the flow of electric current in only one direction while blocking it in the opposite direction. It is a two-terminal device that is used in various electronic circuits and units. The basic structure of a Diode consists of a Semiconductor material, which is doped with impurities to create regions of excess electrons and regions with fewer electrons.

Attributes:
• Effectively removing the negative portion of the AC waveform and creating a smooth DC output
• Provides precise control over the flow of electric current

Applications:
A Diode acts as a one-way valve for electrical current.
