Biasing of a diode and it's voltage and current characteristics.

Question

Accepted Answer

Biasing of a diode refers to applying a DC voltage across the diode to control its voltage and current characteristics.

Biasing a diode involves applying a DC voltage across it in order to control its operation.
Forward biasing occurs when the positive terminal of the voltage source is connected to the anode of the diode.
Reverse biasing occurs when the negative terminal of the voltage source is connected to the anode of the diode.
In forward bias, the diode conducts current and has a low resistance, while in reverse bias, the diode blocks current flow and has a high resistance.
The voltage-current characteristics of a diode can be described by the diode equation.
