favour. Although
it is not
perfect
in the
forward
direction,
for it
always
has
some resistance,
it is
practically perfect
in
the reverse direction; that
is to say, it
passes negligible backward
current, even when quite large voltages are applied.
So
even
if,
owing
to
a
high forward resistance,
the
forward current were very small,
the output voltage could, theoretically
at
least,
be
made
to
approach
that given
by a
perfect rectifier, merely
by
choosing
a
sufficiently
high load resistance. Silicon diodes
are now
available with very high
backward resistance,
and
lower forward resistance than thermionic
types.
They have
