xi) P-N junction Diodes When one side of a
semiconductor crystal (Germanium or silicon) is doped
with acceptor impurity atoms and the other side with
donor impurity atoms a PN
junction is formed. It is also called a semiconductor or
crystal diode. When diffusion of the two regions
occur a resultant potential barrier is created between the
two sides due to migration of electrons and holes.
When the diode is connected with P side to positive
terminal of a battery& N side to ve terminal it is said to
be forward biased & reverse biased when reversed. In
forward biasing the applied positive potential repels the
holes and turns a current is made to flow overcoming the
internal potential Barrier. While in reverse biasing the ve
electrons

1st attract the holes and widen the Barrier and then only
the repulsion between the inner electrons occur and
current flows. So theoretically no current flows through
due to the widening of the Potential barrier but practically
a very small current does flows through. Different types
of diodes are present
1. Zener diode
2. PN junction diode
3. LED
4. LAD
5. Solar cell
Here we use a P-N junction diode. The grayish ring
indicated the N side and the Black color P side.
xii) Finally, small equipment such as a soldering iron to
solder the lead, Blades, holders, insulation tapes to
insulate the wire from shocking and sand paper to rub
the oxidized wire ends are used.

Connection details
Connections are done as in the circuit. The A.C. supply is
given to both the input wires of the transformer and the
two ends of the secondary coil is given to the P side of
the two diodes and the N side of the diodes are twined
and then connected to one end of the capacitor and the
other end to the center tap lead and to the resistor.
Further, the other end of capacitor with the diode connect
ion isconnected to the other end of the resistor. Connect
2 leads on both the ends of the resistor to measure the
output and this is connected to the +ve & -ve terminals of
the bulb.
