What does DIODE mean in Scrabble?
noun
technical
An electronic component that allows electric current to flow easily in one direction but blocks it in the other.
Engineers use a diode to convert alternating current into direct current, to protect a circuit from reversed wiring, or to let a light emitting diode glow only when current flows the correct way. Inside most modern devices a diode is built from a small piece of semiconductor material, though early versions used vacuum tubes instead. The one-way behavior of a diode makes it one of the most basic building blocks of electronic circuits.
