Type: MCQ-diagram based-Easy-Class 12

A diagram shows a p-n junction diode connected in a circuit with a battery. The diode's p-side is connected to the positive terminal of the battery, and the n-side is connected to the negative terminal. What bias condition is illustrated by this setup?

Question diagram
A

Forward bias

B

Reverse bias

C

Zero bias

D

Breakdown condition

Correct Answer

Option A

Detailed Explanation

In forward bias, the p-side of the diode is connected to the positive terminal, and the n-side is connected to the negative terminal of the battery, reducing the potential barrier and allowing current to flow.
