P-N Junction Diode question from JEE Main 2006 (AIEEE)

Q111JEE Main 2006 · AIEEEEasy

P-N Junction Diode

In the following, which one of the diodes is reverse biased?

Show answer and solution

Answer: (d)

Reverse bias: cathode potential $>$ anode potential.
(a) cathode $+5\text{ V}$ , anode $+10\text{ V}$ : forward. (b) cathode $-10\text{ V}$ , anode $-5\text{ V}$ : forward. (c) anode $0$ , cathode $-10\text{ V}$ : forward.
(d) anode $0$ (ground), cathode $+5\text{ V}$ : reverse biased.
So the answer is (d).
