Mention the two methods of biasing a diode.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The two methods of biasing a diode are:
i. Forward Bias: P side is connected to the positive terminal and N side to the negative terminal of the voltage source.
ii. Reverse Bias: P side is connected to the negative terminal and N side to the positive terminal of the voltage source.
