text: While current generally flows through a diode in one direction, in some cases the current can be reversed.
text: When the positive P side of the diode is connected to power supply, and N side to the ground, then the connection is said to be in forward bias which allows the electric current to flow through the diode.
text: At voltages above the onset of breakdown, an increase in applied voltage will cause more current to flow in the diode, but the voltage across the diode will stay very nearly at V Z .
text: When current is flowing through a diode, the voltage on the positive leg is higher than on the negative leg, this is called the diode's forward voltage drop.
text: A relatively high minimum voltage must be reached for current to flow through a diode in the reverse direction.
text: The current that will flow through a diode biased in the reverse direction will vary from several mA to just µA, which is very small.
text: If the PN-junction diode is in the forward biased, then the current flows through the diode.
text: The optical power presented at the signal port W is equal to the product of the current flowing through the diode and the Optical power per unit current parameter value.
text: The current flowing through the diode, I D , is the voltage measured by channel 2 divided by the resistor value (100 Ω in this example).
