Question:
Which of the following circuits represents a forward biased diode?
Which of the following circuits represents a forward biased diode?
Show Hint
For a diode to be forward biased, the anode must be at a higher potential than the cathode, allowing current to flow through the diode.

- (B), (D) and (E) only
- (A) and (D) only
- (B), (C) and (E) only
- (C) and (E) only
Hide Solution
Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is C
Solution and Explanation
A forward biased diode is one where the anode is at a higher potential than the cathode. Hence, we look for circuits where the voltage across the diode is positive in the correct direction.
In the given circuits, the forward biased diodes are present in the circuits (B), (C), and (E).
