The dominant mechanisms for motion of charge carriers in forward and reverse biased silicon P-N junction are

Assertion:The dominant mechanism for motion of charge carriers in forward and reverse biased silicon P-N junction are drift in both forward and reverse biase. Reason: In reverse biasing, no current flow through the junction.

The reason of current flow in P-N junction forward biase is

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.

No biase is applied to a P-N junction, then the current

The resistance of a revese biased P-N junction diode is about
