1
Q
What direction does current flow in a diode
A
From anode to a cathode
2
Q
Which is the cathode on the diode and the anode
A
The cathode is the flat line and the anode is the bottom of the triangle
3
Q
At what voltage does current flow through the diode
A
The voltage can only flow in the diode when the voltage is greater than 0.7V
4
Q
What is the holding current of a zener diode
A
A small current that must flow through the zener diode to maintain the zener voltage.
