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.

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 |
can you show me the components inside a air circuit breaker with connection diagram?
Our Alternator nameplate specifies a power factor of 0.8. When the Alternator is on light load, the bus bar voltage rises to 11240 volts, whereas the standard value is 10500 volts. Is it ok to increase the power factor to 0.85 or 0.9. I am afraid because the power factor on the name plate is only 0.8 ?
What is Load commutation and how it is done?Cite some example where this type of commutation is used
