Question

What do you mean by P-type and N-type semiconductors ? Explain the working
of a PN junction diode.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Working of P-N Junction Diode

If an external potential is applied to the terminals of PN junction, it will alter the potential between the P and N-regions. This potential difference can alter the flow of majority carriers, so that the PN junction can be used as an opportunity for the diffusion of electrons and holes.
