as a noobie i have a lot of dumb questions on how things work. questions;
diodes have a forward voltage drop spec on their data sheets. does that mean that for example ; at say 5VDC a small signal diode with .7Vfd the voltage would read 4.3VDC on the cathode side?
if you put 2 or more diodes in parallel in a circuit do they have a rule like resistors, that for 2 diodes instead of 1.4Vfd the drop would be .35Vfd?
like i said dumb questions to you guys but i can't seem to find the answer or i ask the wrong questions. i do a google search on this stuff before asking.
thank you, cary
