Cathode and Anode: These terms are widely used in electrolysis and electrochemical systems. Understanding them is important, as their charges vary based on the system and reaction they are involved in ...

What is a P-N Junction? A p-n junction is a fundamental building block of modern electronics, formed by joining together two types of semiconductor materials: p-type (positive) and n-type (negative).

For the standard junction diode, there are two operating regions and three possible biasing conditions. There is no external potential energy applied to the P-N junction when a diode is connected in a ...
