Question
An ideal diode should pass a current freely in one direction and should stop it completely in the opposite direction. Which is closer to ideal-vacuum diode or a p-n junction diode?
✓

Answer

It should be an ideal vacuum diode. When a p-n junction diode is reverse biassed then a small current called reverse current flows across the diode. As the the p‒n junction diode allows some current in reverse biassed condition also so the given diode cannot be a p-n junction diode.
