Difference between ideal diode & conventional diode

An ideal diode is a diode that acts like a perfect conductor when voltage is applied forward biased and like

The ideal model of a diode is the least accurate approximation and can be represented by a simple switch. When the

As we know, forward bias produces current through a diode and reverse bias essentially prevents current, except for a negligible

A diode is made from a small piece of semiconductor material, usually silicon, in which half is doped as a p region

The valence and conduction bands in an n-type material are at slightly lower energy levels than the valence and conduction bands

When you take a block of silicon and dope part of it with a trivalent impurity and the other part with

Semiconductive materials do not conduct current well and are of limited value in their intrinsic state. This is because of the

The valence shell of an atom represents a band of energy levels and that the valence electrons are confined to

All materials are made up of atoms. These atoms contribute to the electrical properties of a material, including its ability to

A dependent current source establishes a current, which is independent of the voltage across it, that is determined by the
