P-N Junction Diode

In which figure, the junction diode is forward biased?

Show answer and solution

Answer: (b)

  1. Forward bias: anode (arrow side) at a higher potential than the cathode (bar side).
  2. (a) 5<105 < 10: reverse. (b) −1.0>−1.5-1.0 > -1.5: forward.
  3. (c) 0<10 < 1: reverse. (d) −2<0-2 < 0: reverse.
  4. So the answer is (b).
