उत्तर
A diode is called a unidirectional device, i.e., current flows in only one direction (anode to cathode internally) when a forward voltage is applied, the diode conducts and when a reverse voltage is applied, there is no conduction. A mechanical analogy is a rat chat, which allows motion in one direction only.
