Diode Equation

The diode equation describes how current flows through a diode, considering the voltage applied across it. It shows that small increases in voltage can cause large increases in current once a certain threshold is reached. Mathematically, it states that current (I) depends exponentially on voltage (V), with factors like temperature and the diode's material properties influencing this relationship. Essentially, it explains why diodes allow current to flow easily in one direction and block it in the other, enabling their use as electrical one-way valves in circuits.
