Explain the working of pn junction diode in forward biased
Answers
Explanation:
Explanation:A P-N junction diode is said to be forward biased when the positive terminal of a cell or battery is connected to the p-side of the junction and the negative terminal to the n side.
Explanation:A P-N junction diode is said to be forward biased when the positive terminal of a cell or battery is connected to the p-side of the junction and the negative terminal to the n side.When diode is forward-biased the depletion region narrows and consequently, the potential barrier is lowered. This causes the majority charge carriers of each region to cross into the other region. The electrons travel from the n-side to the p-side and go to the positive terminal of the battery. The holes that travel from the p-side to the n-side combine with the electrons injected into the n-region from the negative terminal of the battery. This way the diode conducts when forward-biased.
