Give three differences between forward bias and reverse bias.

The values of v and I for silicon diode is given as follows Using the data calculate the forward and reverse bias resistance of silicon diode

The V-I characteristic of a diode is shown in the figure. The ratio of forward to reverse bias resistance is

When the forwward bias voltage of a diode is changed from 0.6 V to 0.7 V the current changes from 5 mA to 15 mA. Then its forward bias resistance is

Assertion Forward bias reduces the barrier pitential Reason : potential barrier always oppsoes the applied potential
