Answer 1

Varactor diode is commonly used for Electronic tuning.

Varactor diode:

It is represented by a symbol of diode terminated in the variable capacitor as shown below:

Varactor diode refers to the variable Capacitor diode, which means the capacitance of the diode varies linearly with the applied voltage when it is reversed biased.
The junction capacitance across a reverse bias pn junction is given by

As the reverse bias voltage increases, the depletion region width increases resulting in a decrease in the junction capacitance.

Varactor diodes are used in electronic tuning systems to eliminate the need for moving parts
Varactor [also called varicap, variable reactance diode, or tuning diode] diodes are the semiconductor, voltage-dependent, variable capacitors
Varactors are used as voltage-controlled capacitors and it operated in a reverse-biased state
