P-N Junction Biasing and Characteristics

Distinguish clearly between forward biasing and reverse biasing of p-n junction.

A p-n junction diode is reverse biased. Then

Explain (i) forward biasing (ii) reverse biasing of a P-N junction diode. With the help of a circuit diagram, explain the use of this device as a half wave rectifier.

Using the necessary circuit diagram, show how the V-I characteristics of a p-n junction are obtained in (i) forward biasing (ii) Reverse biasing. How are these characteristics made use of in rectification?

Explain the working of p-n junction diode in forward and reverse biased mode.
