Expert Solution & Answer

Explanation of Solution
To control the flow of electric current in a circuit, a basic semiconductor is used which is known as P-N junction diode’s junctions are formed by joining n type and p type semiconductor matierlas.
The diode is the simplest of all electronic devices. It is made by joining a piece of P-type material and a piece of N-type material. The diode acts like an electric check valve, allowing the current to flow in just one direction through it. Thus the PN junction is more commonly known as diode.
