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 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 semiconductors work on DC only?

the NP or PN junction only allows current to flow in one direction (think diode), therefor DC would be the only energy capable


What is meant by cut in voltage?

Cut-in voltage is the value of voltage at which appreciable current begins to flow when a pn junction is forward biased.


What is the explanation for the vi characteristics of p-n junction?

The VI characteristics of PN junction diode when used as a diode rectifier are reverse bias and rectification is shown by an asymmetrical current flow.


How reduce the Effect of reverse recovery time in pn junction diode?

What is the cause of reverse recovery time in a pn junction diode


What is forward and reversed biasing?

This is a characteristics of semiconductor diode {pn junction}.In forward biasing here we connect p to positive terminal and n -ve terminal when external voltage is aplied in such a direction that cancels out potential barrier thus permitting current flow In reverse biasing the connection of pn junction is inverted but in this the potential barrier incresesand offers resistance to current flow but at a certain voltage current increases suddenly(the break down voltage)the zener diode works in this principle


How a pn-junction can be formed?

A pn junction can be formed by bringing the p and n type materials together.


What is Another name for pn junction?

I cannot think of any, but a pn junction is a part of a diode and has a rectifying properties.


Why pn junction is neutral?

the material in which using for doping is already neutral.,,so the pn-junction diode also neutral........


What is the junction resistance of pn junction diode?

The resistance of a forward biased pn junction is zero.


What are the types of biasing in pn junction diode?

There are 2 type of biasing in PN junction didoe Forward biasing Reverse biasing
