Description

A P-type has a lot of holes and an N-type lot of electrons. What if we put them together? In this video, let's explore the famous PN junction. We will see what happens when we have a single crystal with a P-type semiconductor on one side and an N-type on the other. 

Class 12 Physics (India)

It is now time to dive deeper into the world of physics with topics from class 12 (NCERT) such as electrostatics, electricity, magnetism, electromagnetic induction, and electromagnetic waves. Let's also learn more about light with ray optics and wave optics. Finally, let's look at what happened in the last hundred years of physics by getting introduced to quantum mechanics with dual nature of radiation an…

The PN junction

An N-type or a P-type semiconductor alone isn't very useful for us. But a PN junction is. In this section, we will explore this PN junction and its properties.
