I'm currently doing an electrical engineering course. I mute the lecturer to listen to your explanation instead. Terrible isn't it. But thanks very much for putting these up.
Ohh the electrons from the negative terminal (electron flow) fills out the holes in p type material. Conversely the electrons from the n type side is reaching towards the positive terminal of the battery so the depletion layer is increased and if we finished this process then the current would not flow in a reverse bias mode.
Oh never mind. I was wrong my self. Because of the charge double layer, which results out of the will of the to potentials to get equivalent, the electrons forming on the p-side are directe moving to the n-side because the first space on the n-side is positivly charged. The result in the end is a potenzial difference and a resulting current.
@@atomicreactions9201 are you talking about reverse or forward bias mode?? Like I would recommend you to watch a video on diodes by ochem tutor on youtube. So that you get the basic concept and come back here and watch solar cells,photodiode and led.
Couple of hours reading universities texts and nope. watch this video twice, plus the previous one and got it. Online universities (and brick) are so behind in teaching.
Sir at 07:43 You mentioned that we want the current only due to light so we don't use forward biasing (as another current flows) But in reverse biasing, a current flows (not due to photons) but it's very small. So we are neglecting that current, right?
00:02 Photodiodes convert light to electricity and are used in detecting brightness 01:39 Reverse biasing in photodiodes limits current and widens depletion region. 03:08 Light absorption in semiconductors creates electron-hole pairs 04:32 Light absorption generates current in semiconductors 06:01 Photodiodes detect brightness using reverse bias. 07:27 Photodiodes work in reverse bias to ensure current is only due to light. 08:54 Current generated by photodiodes is independent of voltage after a certain point due to the number of electron-hole pairs formed by the light. 10:15 Photodiodes can generate a tiny current even in absence of light due to thermal energy.
Tomorrow is exam of 8th semester Thank you Sir ji! you cleared my concepts even my professor could not clear the concepts in the timeframe of 6 months you did it in 11:39 minutes. What a Legend! Lots of Love from Pakistan!
Possibly if you have some bright light shining at the sensor and you happen to block that light when you come near the door, current will decrease, and door can open, but I think this can raise many false alarms. Like what if a fly just cover up the sensor, or something.
Dear Sir, I have a problem which you may be able to help me solve. I have a new Solar Panel installation and I want to use it in part to heat my underfloor heating through the electrical conduction wires embedded in my concrete floor. The problem is, when sunlight dims during the day, electricity comes from the grid to maintain a consistent flow of electricity to heat my floor. Grid electricity is expensive and I NEVER want to use grid electricity to heat the floor, only solar derived electricity. I was thinking of combining two devices to make a switch that turned on the output to the floor from my solar panels when the sun is shining and turn off current when the sun is not shining. The thought was to use a Photodiode as the current switch that is connected via a low voltage power supply to a solenoid. This solenoid switches off 240V power to my underfloor heating when the solar radiation {and therefore current in the low voltage circuit} drops to below a certain level and stops power going to the heater circuit. If the sun reappears from behind a cloud, the circuit goes back on again. What do you think about my problem and do you have any suggestions? Thanks.
It makes no sense to me that the free electron would recombine outside of the depletion region, because we apply an electric field with our reverse bias. Or what do I see wrong?
The heck bro, the only few channels that post teaching videos other than Hindi in India. This channel is for indians not for North Indians alone so shut up😡🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬
The content is amazing and your accent makes it 10 times better! This is the very first time I am finding physics interesting! Thanks

Couldn't find a better explanation than this one, simply brilliant! God bless you and thank you so much!

Exactly. I am learning this topic a the moment, and he confused me lot, that he is doing it the other way arount.

You just nailed it man! Hats off you 🥰 you just make me satisfy about this topic
Worth appreciating content...
Cleared my concepts in one go😄
Sir ossmmmmm content 🤗🤗🤗. I love the way u teach....
Sir it's a rqst pls upload solar cell as tomorrow is my pre exam of phy
The content is really good 👍

Ofcourse
Off course...see the current generated in the depletion layer is enormously small as compared to the current which is generated by light.
No, I think it is included in dark current
@@debarshidas8596ya
I had no idea this was a khan academy video! this is amazing!
Nice video. My only suggestion is that the i v curve should not go to the origin. Even at v=0 you should see significant photo current, I believe.
I agree -- because the depletion region is still present at v = 0 (albeit a non-expanded one), and it's in this region the current is generated.
You are really a very good teacher... Ur videos are so knowledgeable and time saving👍🏻
Very useful stuff for engineering students... Thank u soo much sir :)
Amazing, regenerated my interest in the subject.

विवरण और ग्राफिक्स, दोनों ही बहुत अच्छे हैं।
Hats off to you dude and to Khan academy!!!
Thank you so much for the detailed explanation 😊
love your teachings sir
and your software as well
The bank note counter example... is that the way it really works? I don't think so. anyway, a very good explanation on the photodiode. thanks.
Very helpful! Thank you very much!
Amazing explanation. This is gonna make my day
great explanation
Tomorrow is exam of 8th semester Thank you Sir ji! you cleared my concepts even my professor could not clear the concepts in the timeframe of 6 months you did it in 11:39 minutes.
What a Legend!
Lots of Love from Pakistan!
idk how to thank u , really amazed by ur teaching
is the current flow direction due to the electron movement or the void of an electron hole movement as an electron in a vacuum???
God sent this man 😅 for us guys !
Excellent, this video created my interest in physics....
Goddamn! This is so good 😳
Hmm
Content is ever good
Shouldn't be the positive ion of the depletion region be containing the holes ?? 5: 22
Thanks for the video. Why the current is from right to left not left to right? toward N junction?
veryyy well ilustrated and well comented!! thanks!
The best best one
thanks man, you have answered my questions.
It was a great explanation sir
Excellent explanation, however the bossing in forward condition is not correct
This guy is brilliant. Thank you sir!
Excellent
You made incredible sense than my lecturer and he has one more than an hour video on this and still doesn't make any sense.
God bless you, man❤❤❤
No one can beat these lctrs for sure of khn acdmyy for thiss chpp🤓
Thank you for making this easier
Man this video was frinking awesome
Hi! What do you mean add a diffuser in photodiode?
Suppose if the light brightness is maximum, then will the current flow or the depletion region will blast...???
Even if Issac Newton, Albert Einstein would watch you, they would love your way of teaching. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Nice way of explaining thinks👍🏻
Nice explanation thanks
thank you very much
Stellar explanation
Crystal clear sir ❤❤
thanks a lot for these videos
what software are you using to explain
Animations are best source of studies💘
Amazing!
Thank you so much!
The electron absorbing the energy from the photon sounds like the photoelectric effect
Tnx a lot
Logical explanation
Can you tell me the reason of negative current ??
can this be used in automatic doors which open when we go near it??????
We are not light emitting bodies. So I don’t think so 👀
infra-radiation detection is used in heat cameras for automatic doors
Possibly if you have some bright light shining at the sensor and you happen to block that light when you come near the door, current will decrease, and door can open, but I think this can raise many false alarms. Like what if a fly just cover up the sensor, or something.
Very good explanation
Yess
Is this same happen in pin photodiode
Great Video!
Hi, how to calculate a resistor value for a photodiode?

Your accent is quite irritating. Please try to speak in Indian accent instead of copying other countries accent. Otherwise videos is good.
He copying only few words pronunciation which are easier that makes his accent irritating
Very good explanation
