why diode has such a sign??
by the bottom sketch we have the diode to be short circuit
but if we look at the upper sketch we see that the current (ie electrons)
flows from the plus p side
for diode to be short circuit we ned to have the electrons flow to the n side
not to the p side
and i remmember my lessons of basics circuits
they said that the current flows from the big potential to the lower potential
so the electrons move from plus
so if its true the diode cannot be short circuit in that way?
