Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -One side is the positive terminal, called the anode. The other terminal is the negative end, called the cathode.
Detailed explanation-2: -A diode, which has two terminals, or two electrodes (hence di-ode), acts more like an on-off switch. When the diode is “on, ‘’ it acts as a short circuit and passes all current.
Detailed explanation-3: -The anode is a positive terminal in a forward-biased p-n junction diode (that p-type is linked to the positive terminal and n-type is connected to the negative). On this type of junction, the cathode terminal is negative. The anode is a positively charged electrode or wire that charges the p-n junction with holes.
