caroline!
@de.das.dude is it a sarcastic question or....?
I like the water analogy. Imagine it as a horizontal diaphragm valve, it lets water flow in one direction but blocks it if the flow is reversed. A diode does the same with electrons. Except they don't move, but that's going too deep down the rabbit hole.
