what is potential drop in a diode?

Solution

Dear Student,
Potential Drop in a diode is the potential created by the electric field formed by the immovable ions in the Depletion region that we also call as Potential barrier. This a zone which is formed between a p-n junction diode after it undergoes diffusion followed by drift of holes/electrons.
