Forward Biasing#!#Reverse Biasing#!#Zener Diode

Distinguish clearly between forward biasing and reverse biasing of p-n junction.

Explain (i) forward biasing (ii) reverse biasing of a P-N junction diode. With the help of a circuit diagram, explain the use of this device as a half wave rectifier.

How is forward biasing different from reverse biasing in a p-n junction diode?

What accounts for the flow of charge carriers in forward and reverse biasing of sillicon P-N diode-

A reverse biased diode is

The approximate ratio of resistance in the forward and reverse biase of the PN- junction diode is

A forward biased diode is

Explain the working of p-n junction diode in forward and reverse biased mode.
