1. What is forward voltage drop?
Forward voltage drop refers to the voltage drop generated when the current passes through a diode when it is conducting. The forward voltage drop of silicon rectifier diodes is usually around 0.7V, while the forward voltage drop of Schottky diodes is usually lower, between 0.2V and 0.3V.

2. What is the difference between a single rectifier diode and a bridge rectifier?
A single rectifier diode can only rectify the positive half wave of AC power (half wave rectification), while a bridge rectifier composed of four diodes can rectify the positive and negative half waves of AC power (full wave rectification), with higher efficiency and smoother output.
-
3. How to identify the polarity of a single rectifier diode?
Rectifying diodes usually have polarity markings, with the positive (anode) of the diode being "+" and the negative (cathode) being "-". On the packaging of diodes, there is usually a circular mark on the cathode side indicating the direction of the diode.

4. How to improve the efficiency of rectifier diodes?
The use of Schottky diodes or fast recovery diodes can reduce forward voltage drop and reverse recovery time, thereby improving the efficiency of rectifier circuits, especially in high-frequency applications.
