If the positive terminal of the battery is connected to the anode of the diode, then it is known as

Electronics and Communication Engineering (ECE) : Electronic Devices and Circuits - Quiz(MCQ)

Forward biased

Equilibrium

Reverse biased

Schottky barrier

Correct Answer : Option (A) : Forward biased

Explanation : When a positive terminal is connected to the anode, the diode is forward biased which lets the flow of the current in the circuit.
