Question

Explain the working of p-n junction diode in forward and reverse direction.

Answer 1

Zero Biased PN Junction Diode. ... Therefore, with the help of majority charge carriers, the current starts to flow in the diode and it is denoted to as forward current. In the same way, minority charge carriers in the N-side move across the depletion region in reverse direction and it is referred to as reverse current:-) ---



Forward Biased PN Junction Diode. When a diode is connected in a Forward Bias condition, a negative voltage is applied to the N-type material and a positive voltage is applied to the P-type material.
