Assertion: diode's voltage | /r/HasProperty | placed across the diode
Facets:
Source sentences:
text: If an external voltage is placed across the diode with the same polarity as the built-in potential, the depletion zone continues to act as an insulator, preventing any significant electric current flow (unless electron–hole pairs are actively being created in the junction by, for instance, light; see photodiode).
text: This type of diode feature a reverse bias placed upon it, which varies the width of the depletion layer as per the voltage placed across the diode.
