In the depletion layer Some electrons migrate from p - type but Y it does not moves further in n-type and y the hole created in n-type cant attract further electrons
What is a pn junction ? A pn junction allows current in one direction only. It blocks current in the reverse direction. When a pn junction is formed, a potential barrier designated Vo comes into existence and is typically around 0.6 to 0.7 volts for silicon junctions. When the barrier whose Vo is 0.7 volts is disturbed by applying a forward bias of say, 0.6 volts, the current increases and the increase becomes steep for small increments of the forward bias value a little greater than 0.68 volts. Large currents are observed when the forward bias is 0.69 volts which is closer to the barrier voltage of 0.7 volts. The forward bias can never exceed the potential barrier voltage nor can it bring the barrier down to zero volts. That is the reason you seldom see current vs volt graphs of pn junction diodes beyond a volt or so. How does the bias remain less than the barrier in an operational diode? The voltage bias applied drops in the bulk neutral regions of the diode. The current in a forward bias adjusts to fulfill the conservation of current law and the rate of recombination. A detailed description of the pn junction with a distinct approach using surface charges, alignment of Fermi levels, creation of the barrier, the distinct processes of diffusion, drift, recombination and the influence of the electric field on the energies of electrons is provided in the following textbooks. Electrostatics and circuits belong to one science and not two, that of electricity and magnetism.

I'm trying to understand this from a real world perspective and I'm getting confused at the part dealing with the battery being flipped to go from forward bias to reverse bias. I seem to be tripping on or misunderstanding a fundamental issue, but what external force would cause the battery polarity to be flipped ?

What external force ? How about the voltage was not a battery but instead ab Alternator ? What if you removed the diode and replaced it the other way round ?
You have so nicely explained working of diod that even a young child will clearly understand. Your lecture is of utmost quality. You are having gift of gabs
I don't think viewers fully comprehend how important your vid really is. It literally defines every technical term used in semiconductor physics. It is very well done! Most YT vids don't use or understand this terminology. Awesome.

great information. however i would prefer a crude hand drawing rather than a marker in hand waving across the screen at rapid speeds "drawing" something unrelated to the movement.
positive ion - 5valent atom that let go of one of its electrons negative ion - 3valent atom that accepted one electron these ions make up the depletion region
Both! Here is a video on transistors as a switch: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-UIEGKvCfDOA.html And here is an article on MOSFET as a switch: www.electrical4u.com/mosfet-as-a-switch/
No diode is "ideal". So its hard to say why the woman says it is. All diodes need a forward voltage above a curvy kind of ammount to start to let current through. Silicon c0.6v GaAs (LED light) white are nearly 3v ! - but might be Aluminum Nitride which gives UV light (I'm told) which then makes a phosphor glow with visible light.
