Which of the following circuits is reverse-biased?
The Correct Option is D
Solution and Explanation
In a diode circuit, for the diode to be forward-biased, the P-end should be connected to a higher potential than the N-end. In option (4), the P-end of the diode is connected to the negative terminal of the power supply, while the N-end is connected to the positive terminal. This configuration causes the diode to be reverse-biased, as it is in opposition to the direction required for forward bias.
Thus the correct answer is option 4.
