Working Principle of 1N4001GPE-E3/73

A 1N4001GPE-E3/73 is a silicon-based rectifier diode. It has a PN Junction which, under normal operation, allows electric current to pass in only one direction while disallowing current to flow in the opposite direction. It works by allowing current to pass only when its anode is connected to a more positive voltage than its cathode.

Under forward bias conditions, the PN junction becomes conductive and electrons flow freely across it. This flow creates a charge on the N-type region which is equal to that on the P-type region. This redistribution of charges produces a potential barrier, or junction potential, that prevents current from flowing in the opposite direction.

Meanwhile, when the diode is reverse-biased, the junction potential is increased to the point that it stops the flow of current. As the voltage is increased, the potential barrier between the N-type and P-type regions breaks down and current can flow in the reverse direction.
