  • Let's look at the different currents in a PN junction.
    Learn the next topic here --www.khanacadem...
    Class 12 Semiconductors: We cannot imagine our life without computers today. But what makes a computer tick? What's making this technology grow at such an exponential rate? It's all due to semiconductors. As unbelievable as that might sound, altering the properties of semiconductors allows us to build these computers. In this topic, we will explore the world of semiconductors. It's a journey from what semiconductors are all the way to creating building blocks of these computers.

      Drift current is not due to hole in depletion layer. Its bcuz of the electric field that arises in depletion layer
      And yes depletion layer gets destroyed - when you apply potential difference across it aka Forward biasing.

    U are doing great but in case of PN junction the net charge on P region and net charge on N region is not zero... Net charge on P is positive as it has become deficient of electrons (minority charge carriers) and same happens for N region where holes (minority charge carriers) have moved to P region.

      That's actually a really really good question. I remember seeing that question in Feynman's lectures as well.
      The short answer is, if you connect anything across the device you are adding more junctions. (The metal-semiconductor junction between the connecting wires & the P or N side terminals). There will be junction potentials across these as well. And it will all work out such that the net potential difference across the two metallic wires would all add up to be zero. :).

    • @akashgupta1307
      @akashgupta1307 3 роки тому

      when the +1 charge crosses over to the n-type region from the depletion region, it gets no attractive pull in the neutral n-type. So it retains the same velocity with which it entered n-type. Hence it keeps moving with reduced but constant velocity, hence reduced but constant KE( than in P-type), hence more PE and hence more V (than in P-type).

The empty plate represents a hole & the 2 cakes represent an electron. Now u move cake on plate 2 to plate 1. After that u move cake on plate 3 to plate 2. Instead of talking about 2 different cakes to explain what happened, u can instead say the hole ( empty plate) moved from 1 to 2 , and then from 2 to 3. This is how we express the movement of holes. It's also easier as dealing with positive charge is more convenient. Hope you understood 🤝.

      as it moves toward the n-type region ...it goes against the electric field which means that is experiences a force toward the p-type region...hence its velocity continues to decrease till it reaches the n-type region...by conservation of energy this kinetic energy lost is manifested as potential energy of the 1 c charge hence the amount kinetic energy decrease the same amount potential energy increases
