Question

Briefly explain how the diffusion and drift currents contribute to the formation of potential barrier in a p-n junction diode.

The formation of depletion region in a p-n junction diode is due to

During the formation of a p-n junction :

Name two important processes involved in the formation of a p-n junction diode. With the help of a circuit diagram, explain the working of junction diode as a full wave rectifier. Draw its input and output waveforms. State the characteristic property of a junction diode that makes it suitable for rectification.
