Want this question answered?
What is the cause of reverse recovery time in a pn junction diode
I cannot think of any, but a pn junction is a part of a diode and has a rectifying properties.
The resistance of a forward biased pn junction is zero.
There are 2 type of biasing in PN junction didoe Forward biasing Reverse biasing
Current flows in a reverse biased diode because diodes are not ideal. They do have leakage current and a breakdown voltage in reverse, just as they have a breakdown current in forward and a non-linear and non-parallel forward voltage to current curve. It is also possible that you are looking at a zener diode. A zener diode is specifically design to conduct at a certain voltage in reverse.
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.
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.
the NP or PN junction only allows current to flow in one direction (think diode), therefor DC would be the only energy capable
Cut-in voltage is the value of voltage at which appreciable current begins to flow when a pn junction is forward biased.
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.
What is the cause of reverse recovery time in a pn junction diode
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
A pn junction can be formed by bringing the p and n type materials together.

the material in which using for doping is already neutral.,,so the pn-junction diode also neutral........
The resistance of a forward biased pn junction is zero.
