PN Junction & Diode
This interactive simulator explores PN Junction & Diode in Electricity & Magnetism. Band cartoon and Shockley-style I(V); ideality, temperature, I₀ scale. Use the controls to change the scenario; watch the visualization and any graphs or readouts to connect the model with lectures, labs, and homework.
Who it's for: Best once you already know the basic definitions and want to build intuition. Typical context: Electricity & Magnetism.
Key terms
- junction
- diode
- pn junction diode
- electricity
- magnetism
How it works
Forward bias shrinks the depletion region (cartoon width); reverse bias widens it and current saturates toward −I₀ in this ideal model.
