Question

Which of the following is true for a forward-biased diode?

• A. The anode is more positive with respect to the cathode.
• B. The anode is negative with respect to the cathode.
• C. The anode potential is equal to the cathode potential.
• D. None of the these.

Answer 1

The correct option is A

The anode is more positive with respect to the cathode.

In a forward-biased diode, the anode is more positive with respect to the cathode.In forward biasing the positive terminal of the battery is connected to the the p-side and the negative terminal to the n-side of the p-n junction
