Question 104 of 209

The forward biased diode connection is :

Show answer and solution

Answer: (A)


A junction diode is said to be forward-biased when the positive terminal of the external battery is connected to the
p−p-region and the negative terminal to the n−n-region of the diode.
The potential of
p−p-side is more positive that of n−n-side, hence diode is in forward biasing. In forward biasing it acts as short circuit, hence current flows.
In case of forward biased circuit P-junction should be at higher potential.
