What is the deffect on current when a p-n diode is (i) forward biased (ii) reverse biased

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To understand the effect on current when a p-n diode is forward biased and reverse biased, we can analyze each condition step by step. ### Step-by-Step Solution 1. **Understanding the P-N Junction Diode:** - A p-n diode consists of two types of semiconductor materials: p-type (which has an abundance of holes) and n-type (which has an abundance of electrons). - The junction between these two materials creates a depletion region where charge carriers are depleted. ...
