Question

what is the PN junction diode?

Open in App
Solution

A diode is a PN junction with p-type on one side and n-type on the other. When a positive voltage is applied to the p-type side it shrinks and overcomes the depletion zone, causing the current to flow from the p-type to the n-type side.
