Question

What is the maximum forward voltage?

Answer 1

Maximum forward voltage:

1. The maximum forward voltage is the voltage required to allow current to flow across the diode's junction.
2. The forward voltage of the diode must be known in order for the current to flow across the junction of the diode.
3. For the diode to conduct any significant forward current, this voltage must be applied.
4. The threshold voltage for silicon diodes is roughly $0.7V.$ It is roughly $0.3V$ for germanium diodes.
