Best Answer

A diode is used as a rectifier, clipper and to get square wave form. The combination of diode (bridge) is used for full wave rectification. It also used as a voltage controlar. Different types of diodes have different uses in different appliences.

What is the difference between p n junction and zener diode?

The difference between the pn-junction diode and the zener diode is that the pn-junction diode is used for rectification while the zener diode is used for rectification and stabilization. Also, the zener diode can function in the breakdown region while the pn-juntion diode can not function in that regime.
