Answer / amol salunkhe
capacitor actually stores the charge but diode doesnt.
diode converts ac in to pulsating dc . capacitor doesnt
allow any conversion.

Answer / selvan
Diode is a semiconductor device.it is used convert AC to DC.
But capacitor is only store the electrical energy.
| Is This Answer Correct ? | 32 Yes | 4 No |
Answer / hore_aec
1. Capacitor can store the charge but diode can't.
2. Diode can convert AC into DC.
| Is This Answer Correct ? | 19 Yes | 3 No |
Answer / zubenathi siganga
DIODE IS A SEMICONDUCTOR WHICH IS US TO CONVERT AC TO
PULSUTING DC AND USED FOR RECTIFICATION WHILE CAPACITOR
STORES ENERGY
| Is This Answer Correct ? | 18 Yes | 2 No |
Answer / kamal
diode is a semiconductor,but capacitor is a insulator
| Is This Answer Correct ? | 19 Yes | 6 No |
Answer / karuvesh sharma
capacitor is a passive deviece and use for storing the
charge
Diode is a active deviece and used for rectification
| Is This Answer Correct ? | 17 Yes | 5 No |
Answer / k.thulasikannan
Diode is like a switch, capacitor is used for improving the
power factor
| Is This Answer Correct ? | 17 Yes | 8 No |
Answer / ch.rajeshkumarreddy
CAPACITOR IS USED ONLY TO STORE THE ELCTRIC CHARGE AND
PASSES WHEN IT REQUIRES.
DIODE IS A SEMICONDUCTORDEVICE IT IS NOT WORKING LIKE AS
CAPACITOR BUT IT CONVERTS AC TO DC AND USED FOR
RECTIFICATION
SO BOTH ARE GOOD BUT IT WORKING STATUS IS DIFFERENT.
| Is This Answer Correct ? | 11 Yes | 2 No |
Answer / sathya
Diode is nothing but a rectifier used to convert ac to
dc.But there is no conversion in Capacitor.It is just used
to store the energy.
| Is This Answer Correct ? | 10 Yes | 3 No |
Answer / sudheer
diode is acts as switch and capacitor which stores the
charege and capacitor can pass only ac current
| Is This Answer Correct ? | 7 Yes | 1 No |
