A PN diode is a semiconductor device that allows current to flow primarily in one direction. It consists of a p-type region (with positive charge carriers, or holes) and an n-type region (with negative charge carriers, or electrons). When forward-biased, the diode conducts current, while in reverse bias, it blocks current flow. This property makes PN diodes essential for rectification, signal modulation, and various electronic applications.

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.

Why tunnel diode are used in negative resistance region?

because that the tunnel diode is a standard pn junction diode in many respect except its highly doped pn junction so it has some characteristics in the negative resistance region another that its a standard diode


Why use the PN junction diode in rectifier?

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.
