Having helped teach a number of Tech level ham crams, Ohm's law
and diodes are both on the test. I'm not sure that all of the
nitty gritty of diodes -- voltage drop by type etc. are covered though.
I think you can pass not knowing either though. :-(

The thing I find baffling (or depressing) here is that we all
had to understand Ohm's Law to pass the exam for our license,
and it's REAL simple. Take resistance values from a wire
table, multiply by the length, then by two for the two
conductors, then by the current. I dunno what the exam is like
nowadays -- my experience was 1955 with the Novice test and a
year later with the General -- but surely there must be
something about how diodes work!
