When investigated with an ohm-meter, a transistor resembles two diodes
connected "back-to-back". But you can't make a transistor by connecting
two diodes back-to-back.

Can you use transistor as diode?
its the simplest thing to do. There are three legs in a transistor, one each of collector, base and emitter. So if you need to use it as a diode, just connect either collector-base or emitter-base. Say, if you use an NPN transistor, then the base region will be the anode of diode and emitter or collector will be the cathode of the diode.
The metal lead of p type of one pn diode connected to the metal lead of p type of another pn diode makes a npn transistor?
No. You cannot create a transistor by connecting two diodes together. There is an interaction between the junctions of a transistor, said interaction being not possible when two diodes are connected together.
How can the bipolar junction transistor be used as a diode?
A: Yes it can but why ? This is frequently done when the diode is used for biasing purposes on another transistor and must be matched identically to the transistor's E-B junction characteristics. Thus 2 matched transistors are used with one just being used as a diode.
Which is better as a switch diode or transistor?
Basically a diode is a combinstion of pN junction but the transistor is made with three terminals EMITTER,, BASE ,, JUNCTION.. and diode is just a combination of positive and negative terminal . diode and transistors are both used as a switch .. but a transistor is more widly udes than a diode. and diode has also very important in electronics DIGITAL SYSTEM to make the screen's ..and transistors are used in amplifiers the group of transistors make an amplifier . and we use a diode in seven segment display ....diode is small and carry less current due to its small size but transistor get large current. A2 A diode has two connections. It allows current to flow in one direction and not in the other. They are used for rectification in power supplies, detection of AM radio, blocking of current etc. A Transistor has three connections. Current is controlled between the emitter and collector, by a small current on the base. They are used as switches, amplifiers and regulators.
Can you use diode as trangister?
A: YES but not directly. for instance a discrete differential amplifier one side need to be a transistor to recover gain but the other transistor can be a diode since in real time that is the operative base to emitter current difference. .
Can diode be used as transister?
No. A diode can not be used as a transistor. A diode allows electricity to flow in one direction like a one way street. A transistor works the same way as putting a stop light in the one way street. It lets electricity flow at certain times and keeps electricity from flowing at certain times. Of course a diode only works when electricity is there to flow just like a one way street only works when there are cars there to ride through it.
Can you use transistor as a rectifier?
No, a Transistor operates with a modulated direct current. You need 4 Diodes to manufacture a rectifier to deliver direct current at the outlet, with alternating current at the input. A Diode is effectively a one way valve to address one halve of the cycle of the alternating current.
What is the diode and Why it is used in electronic circuits?
A diode is basically a electronic non return valve it let current flow in one direction only and can not be used for amplification it only consist of a cathode and anode, where the transistor can be used in many applications, for instance as an amplifier, electronic switch, oscillator etc. it consist of three connections eg. Collector, Emitter and a Base normally the current is collected at the Collector and emitted at the Emitter and the Base is used to control the current flow with the Base at 0 volt no or very little current will flow between C and E it will only switch on with the B at about 2.7volt and the higher the B voltage the more current will flow thru the transistor
How has the transistor radio impacted humanity?
In fact, the antecessor of transistor was the diode. Transistor is an abbreviation for "Transfer resistor, A transistor is formed by the combination of two diodes,and the first diodes were made of germanium to allow current flows on one direction and blocking it on the reverse direction. Transistor was the basis for the real development of electronic technologies, but the main material inside of it, that started with germanium, today is used silicon, and graphene is the newest material that promises to replace silicon with many important physical features.
What is the application of TTL in integrated circuits?
Transistor transistor logic is one type of many different types of bipolar transistor based digital logic circuitry. It is very efficiently implemented in integrated circuit chips, needs only one power supply voltage, and operates at reasonably high speeds. Transistor transistor logic was first developed in the middle 1960s as a modification of the diode transistor logic, then in use in some digital logic integrated circuit chips but dating back to the earliest discrete bipolar transistor logic developed in the late 1950s and derived from vacuum tube point contact diode logic used in many early first generation computers. Transistor transistor logic integrated circuits dominated the computer and electronic digital controller market from the late 1960s until the middle 1980s, when metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistor based microprocessors and microcontrollers began to replace it. By the early 1990s transistor transistor logic and other bipolar transistor based digital logic integrated circuits had been replaced with equivalent complementary metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistor integrated circuits that were both faster and consumed less power (thus running much cooler) or with programmable logic devices of various types. In general transistor transistor logic is now considered obsolete.
Difference between optocoupler and normal diode?
Purpose: An optocoupler (or optical isolator) uses optics to isolate one circuit from another. The diode in the optical isolator is similar to an LED. The light from this LED controls the gate or base of a transistor. A diode has two terminals, an optocouple will have at least 4. A diode is used to control current flow direction; an optocoupler main purpose is to isolate one circuit from another. etc. etc.
What are diodes and transistors?
A diode allows current to pass in one direction only, and has two pins - Anode and Cathode. A transistor is a switch that has three pins - Collector, Base, Emitter, and a current can pass between the collector and emitter if there is a current on the base. A picture of diodes and transistors can be found here (left to right: diode, transistor, transistor, LED - diode that lights up): http://www.mediafire.com/imageview.php?quickkey=zmwz5and0lm&thumb=6
