Forward biasing of a PN junction diode is indicated by which of the following connections?
Question

Forward biasing of a PN junction diode is indicated by which of the following connections?

A.

+ ve to anode and -ve to cathode for full cycle

B.

-ve to cathode and -ve to anode for full cycle

C.

-ve to cathode and -ve to anode for one half cycle, and -ve to anode and -ve to cathode for the second half cycle

D.

-ve to anode and -ve to cathode for full cycle

Correct option is A

Forward biasing of a PN junction diode occurs when the positive terminal of the voltage source is connected to the anode (p-type), and the negative terminal is connected to the cathode (n-type). This causes the majority charge carriers (holes in the p-side and electrons in the n-side) to move toward the junction, thereby reducing the potential barrier, allowing current to flow through the diode.
