Question

What are forward biasing and reverse biasing of a diode?

Solution

Diode:

  1. A semiconductor diode seems to be a p-n junction diode with two terminals that conducts current exclusively throughout one channel or direction.
  2. Forward bias: The p-type is usually linked to the positive terminal of the voltage potential, whereas the n-type that has been connected to the negative terminal is called forward bias.
  3. Reserve bias: The p-type is usually linked to the negative terminal of the voltage potential, whereas the n-type is connected to the positive terminal is called reserve bias.
