Answer:
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.

Answer:
A diode is a two-terminal electronic component that conducts current primarily in one direction; it has low resistance in one direction, and high resistance in the other.
A characteristic of diodes is that current flows (forward direction) or current does not flow (reverse direction) depending on the direction of applied voltage. This works to convert alternating current (AC) voltage to direct current (DC).
