Water Analogy of Diodes







• When water pressure on left overcomes the restoring force of spring, the gate is

opened and water is allowed to flow o
.

• When water pressure is from right to left, the gate is pressed against the solid stop

and no water is allowed to flow.


• Spring restoring force is analogous to 0.6V needed to forward bias a Si diode.
