What happens when a diode is forward-biased?
Think about which side is connected to the positive terminal.
Define reverse bias.
What connects to the negative side?
What happens when a diode is in forward bias?
Think about how the connections at the terminals affect current flow.
In reverse bias, what does the depletion region do?
What happens when the negatively charged side is connected?
A diode is used in a rectifier that converts AC to DC. Analyze how forward and reverse bias impacts this functionality.
Think about how the diode alternates its state based on current direction.
Design a simple circuit using a diode as a voltage regulator and explain the role of biasing.
Consider how you would apply this in practical electronics.
