It's the simplest semiconductor device made. It ushered in the age of radio, the electronic valve that rectifies and regulates - the diode!
A diode is a one way valve for electricity. To learn more about electronics components see my other videos or visit filear.com
Check us out at www.tutorvista.com A pn junction is formed by joining p-type and n-type semiconductors together in very close contact. The term junction refers to the boundary interface where the two regions of the semiconductor meet. If they were constructed of two separate pieces this would int...

This video covers the basics of diodes, bridge rectifiers, and how to build simple unregulated AC to DC power supplies than can handle a few mA up to several Amps. I recommend watching my transformer tutorial first if you are confused about where I am getting the AC voltages from: www.youtube.com...
Very basic classical discussion of a PN junction (diode). Intended to cover Leaving Certificate or similar requirements.
