Hey guys, was sitting through a physics class today and something bothered me. They referred to the p material of a diode as being the anode and the n material being a cathode. Being a chemistry student I am aware that the cathode is + while the anode is -ve. Why has it changed around, due to the use of conventional current? Or is it because of the electric field in the depletion layer?
