diode conducts in forward bias.so it is on switch.

in reveres bias it will not conduct.so it is off switch

How does PN-junction diode acts as a switch?

when a semiconductor is doped with p-type and n-type impurities, a pn junction is formed which acts as a diode and prevents the charge carriers to flow to either side of junctionpn juction diode is a semiconductor device that allows current to flow only to one direction.

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.


How does a PN junction diode acts as a switch?

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.
