Diodes, particularly semiconductor diodes, are key components that allow current to flow in one direction only. They are used for rectification, meaning they convert alternating current (AC) to direct current (DC), which is essential for powering most electronic devices. Zener diodes are another important type, providing voltage regulation by allowing current to flow backwards once a specific voltage is exceeded, protecting sensitive electronic parts from voltage spikes.
