In this article you will get the clue that from where and how the questions are being framed from the topic Diode
The experts of jagranjosh.com have full confidence that you will not miss any of the questions in the board exam as well as in competitive exams from this chapter if you will keep the following terms / question in your mind while studying.

Diode works as

• Rectifier
• Modulator
• Detector

Metals have hedge number of free electrons

Methods to take out the electrons are

Field emission

Photoelectric effects

Secondary emission

Thermionic emission (addition effect)

On which method diode and triode works

Differences among all the methods

Is diode and triode means vacuum tube?

Space charge /electron cloud

Role of Space charge

Saturated current

Relation between saturation current and temperature

Richardson-Dushman equation

Graph between saturation current density and temperature

Formula for saturation current density

Richardson equation

Cut of potential

Relation between plate current and plate potential in ohmic range and non ohmic range

If plate potential and plate current is zero, then what about space charge
