In a semiconductor diode, forward bias means
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: B. the p side is connected to the positive terminal
- Step 1: Connecting the p-type side to the positive terminal narrows the depletion layer and lets current flow. Answer: the p side is connected to the positive terminal. Why not the others: the n side is connected to the positive terminal, no battery is connected and an alternating voltage is applied don't fit.
