Explain forward bias and reverse bias of the junction diode.

The following table provides the set of values, of V and I, obtained for a given diode. Assuming the characteristics to be nearly linear, over this range, calculate the forward and reverse bias resistance of the given diode.

The question given below consist of an assertion (A) and a reason ( R). Use the following key to choose the appropriate answer to these questions from the codes (a), (b), ( c) and (d) given below: (a) Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A. (b) Both A and R are true but R is NOT the correct explanation of A. (c) A is true but R is false. (d) A is false and R is also false. Assertion:The dominant mechanism for motion of charge carriers in forward and reverse biased silicon p-n junction are drift in both forward and reverse bias. Reason: In reverse biasing no current flows through the junction.

Consider a npn transistor with its base-emiter junction forward biased and collector base junction reverse biased. Which of the following statements are true?

When a forward bias is applied to a p-n junction, it

The breakdown in a reverse biased p-n junction diode is more likely to occur due to

What are forward and reverse mutations?
