text: When the voltage is applied to the P-N junction diode in such a way that the positive terminal of the battery is connected to the p-type semiconductor and the negative terminal of the battery is connected to the n-type semiconductor, the diode is said to be forward biased.
text: When a forward voltage is applied to the PN junction diode.
text: If a forward voltage, or forward bias, is applied to a p-n junction diode (Figure 1)—that is, if a positive potential is supplied to the p- region of the junction—the potential barrier at the junction is lowered, and there begins an intensive injection of holes from the p-region into the n-region and of electrons from the n-region into the p-region.
text: When no voltage is applied across the PN junction diode then the electrons will diffuse to P-side and holes will diffuse to N-side through the junction and they combine.
text: When the voltage is applied to the P-N junction diode in such a way that the positive terminal of the battery is connected to the n-type semiconductor and the negative terminal of the battery is connected to the p-type semiconductor, the diode is said to be reverse biased.
text: In this case, no external voltage is applied to the P-N junction diode; and therefore, the electrons diffuse to the P-side and simultaneously holes diffuse towards the N-side through the junction, and then combine with each other.
text: When forward biased voltage is applied to the p-n junction diode, the width of depletion region decreases.
text: When reverse biased voltage is applied to the p-n junction diode, the width of depletion region increases.
text: No external voltage is applied to the PN junction diode.
