DIODES! All Sorts of Them and How They Work (ElectroBOOM101-010)

hi oh hi Electro boom methi here diodes what are diodes they are these brilliant components and Brilliant well it's the sponsor of this video where you can learn a ton of simple to complex Math Science and Computing concepts with easy to understand interactive courses use my link diodes though there were these massive breakthrough in electronics you put four of them together and you get two Bridge rectifier imagine for a long time we only lived with resistors capacitors and inductors until we were tired of the linear behavior of impedances and decided to bend the curve diodes are these components that allow the current to flow one way and block it from coming back basically there are the check valves of electric currents but how do they work well we don't care at the moment in olden times they started which were pretty much replaced when semiconductors were created I place a link at the corner to a video from Mr Carlson's lab on vacuum tubes and Steve mold's video on semiconductors if you want to learn deeper on how they work here I just want to surf the surface and talk about what it does so we can design circuits with it silicon diodes are amazing though you think they just rectify think again there are millions of different types maybe around 10 but they are all made based on the same concept two different material are fused to each other and the junction between them has magical properties
