What else can I help you with?
What is the junction resistance of pn junction diode?
The resistance of a forward biased pn junction is zero.
Why there is no current in reverse bias condition?
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.
What is the opposite of diode?
another name for diode is "pn" junction.
What does the term PIV for a diode refer to?
Peak Inverse Voltage, the maximum reverse bias (inverse) voltage that can be applied to the diode without damaging or destroying it. The work "peak" is used to remind you that when using the diode to rectify AC (or arbitrary waveforms) you must use the peak voltage, not the RMS voltage.
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.
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 junction resistance of pn junction diode?
The resistance of a forward biased pn junction is zero.
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.
Why there is no current in reverse bias condition?

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.
Is the pn junction diode is a bipolar or unipolar?
diode is unipolar
What is the opposite of diode?
another name for diode is "pn" junction.
What is the need of resistor in the experiment of pN junction diode?
The resistor limits current so you can measure voltage across the diode. When you forward bias and saturate a junction, the voltage across it will be constant (0.7 in silicon, for example).
Is it pn junction diode used as voltage regulator?
zener diode
What is use of the diode?
The use of the pn diode is for rectification. It can also be used as a switch.
Is Gunn diode a PN junction?
no....is n't
What does the term PIV for a diode refer to?
Peak Inverse Voltage, the maximum reverse bias (inverse) voltage that can be applied to the diode without damaging or destroying it. The work "peak" is used to remind you that when using the diode to rectify AC (or arbitrary waveforms) you must use the peak voltage, not the RMS voltage.
