How real diode is different from ideal diode?

It depends how "ideal" your ideal diode is. The first approximation of an ideal diode is that it's a device that allows current to flow one way, and not the other way, while doing this with no losses. The second approximation of a diode implies the inherent 0.7V drop across the device, as well as one way current flow, but with no loss resistance. The third approximation of an ideal diode is a device which allows current to only flow one way through it, with a 0.7V loss across is, as well as a small internal resistance of a few ohms. These all vary from a real diode because these are all linear, in every sense. You can neither calculate the voltage nor the current across/through a diode. Instead, you must use the diode's characteristic curve (given on datasheet), and linearize it. You can get any amount of current to flow through the diode the CORRECT direction, by changing the voltage used. A number of microamps will take perhaps, a third of a Volt.

How much forward diode voltage is there with the ideal diode approximation?

Consider ideal diode to be connected in series with resistor of 6kSilicon diode forward bias voltage = 0.7 voltsCurrent across 6k resistor = (5-0.7)/6000 amperesVoltage across {resistor + diode}=4.3 + 0.7=5vIf silicon internal resistance is 6k then voltage across diode=5vIf external resistance is 6k and diode resistance is negligible then voltage across diode=0.7v


What is diode current?

a close approximation of the forward current is an exponential function of voltage, but it has constants that must be empirically adjusted for accuracy. the reverse breakdown is a bit tricker to model accurately. The function look something like this: I = K1 eK2(V-K3)

Why the graph of reversed biased diode is lies in third quadrant?

-- The definition of 'reverse bias' is anode negative with respect to the cathode, or negative voltage across the diode. That places the graph in negative-x territory. -- The diode simply acts as a resistor. Its unique 'diode' characteristics arise from the fact that its 'resistance' changes with different bias points, but the current through it always has the same polarity as the voltage across it. Therefor . . . -- When the voltage across it is negative, the current through it is also negative. Negative current appears on the graph in negative-y territory. -- Negative-x territory/negative-y territory is the third quadrant.
