Diodes and fuses

Diodes are ..... - terminal electronic components that conducts current .

A diode has ........resistance in one direction and high resistance in the other.

The fundametal property of a diode is its tendency to conduct electric ......... in only one direction.

When an electric current between the electrodes passes through this diode, light is produced.
