  1. Anode is at a higher potential than cathode
  2. Cathode is at a higher potential than anode
  3. Both terminals are at the same potential
  4. None of the above

Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

The forward bias condition in a diode occurs when: (2020)
  • Step 1: Understand what a diode is. A diode is a component that allows current to flow in one direction only.
  • Step 2: Identify the two terminals of the diode: the anode (positive side) and the cathode (negative side).
  • Step 3: Know what 'forward bias' means. It means connecting the anode to a higher voltage than the cathode.
  • Step 4: When the anode is at a higher potential than the cathode, it allows current to flow through the diode.
  • Step 5: Remember that in forward bias, the diode conducts electricity, allowing current to pass.
