The diode conducts at its forward breakdown voltage. Depending on the current, and the type of diode, the voltage could be anywhere between 0.2 and 3.5 volts, with a nominal silicon range of 0.7 to 1.4.

List the two conditions under which a diode is operated?

A diode is a semiconductor material which has p region and n region. In order to "turn on" and conduct current in the forward direction, a diode requires a certain amount of positive voltage to be applied across it. An ideal diode conducts only when the diode is forward biased, and then the voltage drop across the diode (Vd) is zero. When the ideal diode is reverse biased, no current flows. The two conditions to operate a diode are: (a) Current flow is permitted; the diode is forward biased. (b) Current flow is prohibited; the diode is reversed biased. When the polarity of the battery is such that current is allowed to flow through the diode, the diode is said to be forward-biased.


How much voltage is there across a silicon diode when it is forward biased?

0.7 The voltage across a silicon diode when it is forward biased should be greater than or equal (>=) 0.7volts.


How much voltage appears across a zener diode when it is forward-biased?

That depends on the zener voltage rating:"low voltage" zeners are just a simple single diode, the zener diode"high voltage" zeners contain 2 back to back diodes in one package, the zener diode and an ordinary diode that is reverse biased when the zener diode is forward biased to block forward conduction of the zener and protect it from overcurrent damage if installed backwards by mistakeThus in "low voltage" zeners when forward biased they will have a normal diode drop (e.g. 0.7V), but "high voltage" zeners when "forward biased" they will act open due to the reverse biased blocking/protection diode in series with the zener.

Describe forward-biased diode?

A specific amount of current is allowed to flow through a diode. If the current passing through the diode exceeds this specific value, the diode gets heated and is likely to be damaged. Therefore, in the biasing circuit of a resistance which limits the current passing through the diode within its specific value is called Forward biased diode. ANSWER: A forward bias diode is just a diode that it is conducting in the forward direction. Positive to anode and negative to cathode
