At the power supply.

A power supply is not a computer. in the very beginning diodes were used extensively to in computers since they conduct only in one direction logic decisions could be performed by diodes as gates of truth as '1' or '0' which all computer understand being machine language

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.


What is the function of diode in computer?

A diode is a one way resistor, basically, it utilizes the silicone n, and silicone p, to create a one way electricity flow, so the current cannot flow backwards. in a computer, this would be used in many different ways, so you would have to search them all up.
