Question 1

What is a PN junction diode?

Accepted Answer

A PN junction diode is a fundamental electronic component formed by joining two doped regions in a single piece of semiconductor material.

Question 2

How does a PN junction diode work?

Accepted Answer

The P and N regions, when brought together, form a depletion region. In this region, there are very few mobile charge carriers due to the attraction between opposite charges. This creates a potential barrier that opposes current flow.
