I understand that diode is place in the same circuit as coil (DC motor or relay) to prevent a voltage from hitting semiconductors, like transistors really hard.
Diode is always shown in parallel with coil, but what I think is strange, what is there to prevent voltage from going through node back into transistor. I know that diode lets the current only in the one direction, but at the node current can split into two wires.
