Question

.Explain Construction, IV Charactestrastics of p-n junction diode. What

happens to the width of depletion layer of a p-n junction when it is (i) forward

biased, (ii) reverse biased?​

Answer 1

Explanation:

when forward biased the width of depletion layer increases

when reverse baised the width of depletion layer decrease.

I-V characteristic curves are generally used as a tool to determine and understand the basic parameters of a component or device and which can also be used to mathematically model its behaviour within an electronic circuit. But as with most electronic devices, there are an infinite number of I-V characteristic curves representing the various inputs or parameters and as such we can display a family or group of curves on the same graph to represent the various values
