The figure shows two diagrams in which diode and resistance are connected. Out of the following statements which one is TRUE?


- A diagram (A) and diagram (B) both are forward biased.
- B diagram (A) forward biased and diagram (B) reverse biased.
- C diagram (A) and diagram (B) both are reverse biased.
- D diagram (A) reverse biased and diagram (B) forward biased.
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(D) diagram (A) reverse biased and diagram (B) forward biased.
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
The anode in diagram (a) has a lower voltage than the cathode. as a result it is skewed in the opposite direction .the anode in diagram(b) has a higher potential than the cathodes. as a result it is in forward biased
