You need to apply an external voltage across the diode. The negative terminal must be connected to the N type material.
What else can I help you with?
Why is a diode called unidirectional?
A diode is unidirectional because of the diode only conduct in forwardbias .As you know the diode have two terminal cathode and anode . and when the positive terminal of battery connected to the p-side and other terminal connected to the other terminal of diode then diode is called forward biased . and when it connection is just opposite then it become in reverse biased . so we can finally say that the diode is unidirectional
How is zener diode different from a conventional diode or ideal diode?
zener diode :zener diode operates under reverse bias voltageideal diode :ideal diode operates under forward bias voltage
Can a diode be used as rectifier diode?
yes, diode can be used as rectifier diode to convert ac to dc
