Question
What are $V-1$ characteristics of a $p-n$ junction?

Answer

The current and voltage changes for a $p-n$ junction diode are represented by a graph. This graph is known as V-I characteristics of the diode, which are of the following two types:
(i) Forward characteristics
(ii) Reverse characteristics
