The diagram illustrates the basic structure of a p-n junction diode with p-type silicon on one side, n-type silicon on the other, and the anode and cathode terminals. It also includes the symbol for a ...

A diode (one way valve) is a PN junction with p-type on one side and n-type on the other. When a positive voltage is applied to the p-type side (forward bias), it shrinks and overcomes the ...
