Title: Identify the main function of a diode.
Course: Electronics Systems I (17106-18) > Section: Introducing Semi-Conductor Devices

Identification should include

- describing the role of asymmetric conductance
- explaining how anodes and cathodes function
- describing the process of forward bias.

Process/Skill Questions:

- What allows a generic diode to resist current flow in a certain direction?
- How can diodes be used to control alternating current?
- What is forward bias?
