Question:medium
With the help of circuit diagrams, briefly explain the forward biasing and the reverse biasing of a p-n junction diode.
With the help of circuit diagrams, briefly explain the forward biasing and the reverse biasing of a p-n junction diode.
Show Hint
Remember the simple rule for connections:
- Forward Bias = Same polarities connected together (Positive to P-type, Negative to N-type).
- Reverse Bias = Opposite polarities connected together (Positive to N-type, Negative to P-type).
