                    In which of the following figures, junction diode is forward biased?                                        

    A)                                                     

    B)                

    C)                

    D)                                                       

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

                    Key Idea: In forward biasing of p-n junction p-side is given more positive voltage than n-side.                 For forward biasing of p-n junction, p-side should be at higher potential than n-side. Now we apply this rule to the four options.                 Here, p-side is at lower potential (OV) and n-side at higher potential (2V). So this diode is not forward biased.                 Here, p-side is at higher potential (OV) and n-side at lower potential (-2V). So, this diode is forward biased.                 Here, p-side is at lower potential (-2V) and n-side at higher potential (OV). So, this diode is not forward biased.                 Here p-side is at lower potential (2V) and n-side at higher potential (5V). So, this is not forward biased.                 Hence, choice (b) is correct.
