Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

In a diode, what is the region called where no current flows?
  • Step 1: Understand what a diode is. A diode is a component that allows current to flow in one direction only.
  • Step 2: Learn about the two main regions in a diode: the p-type region and the n-type region.
  • Step 3: When a diode is reverse biased (connected in a way that blocks current), a special area forms.
  • Step 4: This special area is called the depletion region.
  • Step 5: In the depletion region, there are very few charge carriers, so no current flows.
