Diodes are basic components that let electricity flow in only one direction. This video explains how they work and why they are used in power supplies and many everyday devices. A simple and clear ...

Zener diodes behave differently from regular diodes by allowing current to flow in reverse at a specific voltage. This video explains how that property helps stabilize voltage in electronic circuits.
