Simple Diode Circuits
Simple Diode Circuits
Please explain what a diode is, in really simple english (first year physics, in context?


also, when you graph V against I (with diode in circuit) is it curved line or straight, and why?)
of a REALLY SIMPLE circuit) thanks!
how could VI line be curved? I mean what does this mean for the diode?

An ideal diode is a one-way conductor of electrical current, analogous to a check valve. A graph of I (vertical) vs. V (horizontal) in a circuit with a resistor, diode and variable voltage source in series would be a horizontal line, I = 0, when voltage is any value in the reverse polarity, and a constant-slope line, I = V/R, when voltage is any value in the forward polarity.
You asked for simple english, and the above is slightly oversimplified for the ideal diode. In forward conduction a real diode has a slight voltage drop across it. So the start of the sloped line isn't at 0 V but at a few tenths of a volt.

This book is an uptodate text on electronic circuit design for people who like to learn electronics by building circuits and making measurements. The subject is dealt with from an experimental point of view, but this has not restricted the author to wellknown or simple circuits. Indeed, some very recent and quite advanced circuit ideas are put forward. Each chapter takes up a particular type of circuit, and then leads the reader to gain an understanding of how these circuits work by proposing experimental circuits for the reader to build and measure. Examples discussed include step recovery circuits of the digitizing oscilloscope, sampling gate and fast comparator circuits, probe and input circuits, wideband amplifier and waveformgenerating circuits, and switched capacitor, phase locked loop, and low noise circuits. Author: ODell, Tom H./ ODell, Thomas Henry/ ODell, T. H. Binding Type: Hardcover Number of Pages: 236 Publication Date: 1991/08/30 Language: English Dimensions: 9.23 x 6.14 x 0.70 inches

Simple Solar Battery Charging System

Lead acid battery Charging circuit??


Ok well I'm trying to charge a 12V 4.5AH/ 10 hour lead acid battery.
At the moment I have it connected to a DC with a few simple diodes to stop reverse current/voltage flow @ 330mAH its taken 4 days to charge and just charged past 12.66V. I have two of these batteries and it’s not very particle when I need the plug. I need a simple battery charging circuit- but I DON’T want it to include IC chips or bridge refractors just simple that I can build in 10 mins. I’ve googled circuits ECT but can’t find any.

Do you know any circuits/ web links ect ?
Because I’m probably just going to end up getting a charger from a shop.

You answered the question yourself in your last sentence.
P.S. I was thinking of making my own petrol to save going to the garage for it.
