Hold the tip of a scope probe in one hand. You should see a bunch of
60 Hz hum on the screen. Hold one end of a diode in the other hand, and touch the free end to ground. The waveform will change. It will tell you if the diode's good, the diode polarity, and something about the junction capacitance and whether it's a PN or schottky.John
Or the square root of 2 battery?
Politicians should only get paid if the budget is balanced, and there is
enough left over to pay them.
What the heck does that have to do with giving someone a diode?
..._NOW_ it is starting to make sense and (indirectly) maybe fukky. Thanks.
Only if it survives the ESD...
I guess you didn't read my appology, so again, I posted in error.
Look more carefully at the drawing.
She says "hold the end of this diode",
notice which end "he" is holding on to,
remember which direction is current flow (standard).
Ok, get it now ?

Sorry, the term is "Conventional Current" flow vs "Electron flow".

Think about that one.

To make things right, is to rectify the situation.

Apologies that only go one way.
