$\Large\bold{\boxed{\boxed{Diode }}}$

➛Diode is arrangement of p- type semiconductor crystal is brought into close contact with an n-type semiconductor.

➛Diode is a two terminal semiconductor device which allows the flow of electrons in one direction only.

➛It is generally used as Rectifiers

Types

⇨ Zener diode➛Zener diode is made from highly dopped p and n type semiconductors.

➛The depletion layer of such diode is very small and the electric field across the junction is very high. When reverse voltage is increased,the electrons tunnel the depletion layer and a largecurrent flows.

Answer 2

Answer:

A diode is defined as a two-terminal electronic component that only conducts current in one direction (so long as it is operated within a specified voltage level). An ideal diode will have zero resistance in one direction, and infinite resistance in the reverse direction.
