To answer the question regarding the resistance offered by an ideal diode in different biasing conditions, we can break it down into two parts: forward bias and reverse bias. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Forward Bias:** - In forward bias, the positive terminal of the power supply is connected to the P-type material (anode) of the diode, and the negative terminal is connected to the N-type material (cathode). - This connection reduces the width of the depletion region, allowing charge carriers (holes from the P-side and electrons from the N-side) to flow freely across the junction. ...
