Application of Pn junction diode is a very vast topic itself. It is used in almost every electronic circuits.diodes are used to build half wave and full wave rectifiers.they are used to convet AC to DC.
Application:
1.)It is the process of rectifier as one of the part of DC Power Supplies.
2.) Detector Circuits.
3.)In bracing systems utilized as DC Restorers
4.)In cut-out circuits utilized for waveform era.
5.)switches in advanced rationale circuits.
diode is unipolar
what is the difference between reverse characteristics of zener diode and a practical diode ?
I don't think that the pn junction diode can emit light. Maybe it does, but a 'plastic' that covering the diode makes the light cannot be seen. Besides, you won't see it glow as it connect to the power source, right?
n-p-n and p-n-p junction diodes
barrier voltage decreases by 2mV for every 1 degree increase in temperature.
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.
diode is unipolar
another name for diode is "pn" junction.
no....is n't
zener diode
I cannot think of any, but a pn junction is a part of a diode and has a rectifying properties.
the material in which using for doping is already neutral.,,so the pn-junction diode also neutral........
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.
semiconductor diode with out a pn junction.
There are 2 type of biasing in PN junction didoe Forward biasing Reverse biasing
The resistance of a forward biased pn junction is zero.
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
