Working Principles

The 1N4007 BK diode operates on the principle of unidirectional conduction, allowing current flow in only one direction while blocking it in the opposite direction. When a positive voltage is applied to the anode, the diode conducts, allowing current to flow through it. In the reverse bias condition, the diode blocks the flow of current.
