A diode is voltage and current sensitive it follows an exponential curve and lower then .6v it is considered off and above .6v is considered on.

Why use the PN junction diode in rectifier?

We use pn junction diode in rfctification as a rectifier becase it allows current to flow in one direction only, i.e. in forward biase only , and stop current to flow in reverse baised. thats why we use pn junction diode in rectification.
