In the given circuit the input voltage Vin is shown in figure. The cut-in voltage of p–n junction diode
(D1 or D2) is 0.6 V. Which of the following output voltage (V0) waveform across the diode is correct?
The Correct Option is A
Solution and Explanation
Till |V|≤0.6 V
|V0|=|V|
So, correct graph is D.

P-n Junction
A P-N junction is an interface or a boundary between two semiconductor material types, namely the p-type and the n-type, inside a semiconductor.
Biasing conditions for the p-n Junction Diode:
in p-n junction diode two operating regions are there:
- P-type
- N-type
There are three biasing conditions for p-n junction diode are as follows:
- Zero bias: When there is no external voltage applied to the p-n junction diode.
- Forward bias: P-type is connected to positive terminal of the voltage potential while n-type is connected to the negative terminal.
- Reverse bias: P-type is connected to negative terminal of the voltage potential while n-type is connected to the positive terminal.
