Lesson 3 Extended

Forward bias in a diode allows current to flow when the positive terminal is connected to the P-side, while reverse bias blocks current. The document includes a diagram illustrating both bias types and poses two quiz questions regarding threshold voltage and current flow in reverse bias. Overall, it emphasizes the fundamental differences between forward and reverse bias in diodes.

Lesson 3: Forward and Reverse Bias

In forward bias, the positive terminal is connected to the P-side, allowing current. In reverse bias, current is

blocked.

Diagram:

Forward Bias: (+) ----|>|---- (-)

Reverse Bias: (-) ----|>|---- (+)

Quiz:

1. What is the threshold voltage of a Si diode?

2. Does reverse bias allow current flow?

Summary:

- Forward bias allows current above threshold.

- Reverse bias blocks current (except leakage).
