Solution
1. A diode is a gadget with two terminals.
2. Anode, or the P region of the diode, is on one side, while Cathode, or the N region of the diode, is on the other.
3. The P zone denotes a situation where the concentration of holes exceeds the concentration of electrons. The P region is considered positive.
4. The N region denotes that the concentration of electrons is greater than the concentration of holes. Negative values are assigned to the N area.
