Homework Equations



I want to search those devices and projects in which diodes are use.
i have found six of them and found some incomplete information (without purpose of diode)
here are the projects,

Efforts.
I am searching a lot for the purpose of diode in these projects for last 4 daysbut didn't find.
i've found the purpose of diode in these projects.

Radio
Power Supply
Guitar Distortion Pedal
Temperature Measuring Device

We can't just give you the answer to your schoolwork questions. As I asked in your other thread, what are diodes used for, and what do you think they are being used for in these circuits?

Tell you what. Why don't you take one single circuit from the above list, and one particular diode, and try your best to figure out what it is doing. Post your thoughts here, and we can address that one particular circuit.
