The purpose of a flyback diode in a circuit is to provide a path for the current flow when an inductive load, such as a motor or a solenoid, is suddenly switched off. This helps to prevent voltage spikes that can damage other components in the circuit by allowing the stored energy in the inductive load to dissipate safely.
