This is a characteristics of semiconductor diode {pn junction}.In forward biasing here we connect p to positive terminal and n -ve terminal when external voltage is aplied in such a direction that cancels out potential barrier thus permitting current

flow

In reverse biasing the connection of pn junction is inverted but in this the potential barrier incresesand offers resistance to current flow but at a certain voltage current increases suddenly(the break down voltage)the zener diode works in this principle

What is the forward biasing of a junction?

Forward biasing can be satisfied when a positive polarity of a battery connect with P side and the negative connect with N side In the P-N junction, that is caused : The free electrons in the N side will pushed by negative charge, and holes move far of positive charge, after that we will have a barrier (small area of barrier between P and N) this biasing called Forward biasing, because of small resistance of barrier, the current will flow, we can use it as a switch. the Reverse biasing is the opesit of all these specifications.

What is meant by biasing a diode?

Biasing a diode refers to the process of applying a voltage across its terminals to control its conductive state. Forward biasing occurs when the positive terminal of the voltage source is connected to the anode and the negative to the cathode, allowing current to flow through the diode. Conversely, reverse biasing connects the positive terminal to the cathode and the negative to the anode, preventing current flow. Proper biasing is essential for the diode to function effectively in circuits, such as rectifiers and signal modulation.
