The Correct Option is D

Solution and Explanation

In the process of forward biasing, the diode's anode is linked to the battery's positive terminal, while the diode's cathode is attached to the battery's negative terminal. 

So, the correct option is (D):
0V to -2V

P-n Junction

A P-N junction is an interface or a boundary between two semiconductor material types, namely the p-type and the n-type, inside a semiconductor.

Biasing conditions for the p-n Junction Diode:

in p-n junction diode two operating regions are there:

  • P-type
  • N-type

There are three biasing conditions for p-n junction diode are as follows:

  • Zero bias: When there is no external voltage applied to the p-n junction diode.
  • Forward bias: P-type is connected to positive terminal of the voltage potential while n-type is connected to the negative terminal.
  • Reverse bias: P-type is connected to negative terminal of the voltage potential while n-type is connected to the positive terminal.
