if the positive terminal of a battery is connected to the p side of a semi conductor and the negative terminal to the n side of a semiconductor... then that type of connection is said to be in forward biased .

∙ 14y agoFor simple diode rectifier it is of great magnitude difference. while the forward voltage is .6 to .9 volts it breakdown can be in thousands of volts. It should be noted that the forward current is useful in the reverse mode it usually is catastrophic because of heat dissipation. Your chosen words of bias do not apply here

∙ 12y agoForward biasing is connecting a potential difference to a pn junction in order to reduce the height of the potential barrier so a greater proportion of the majority charge carriers can have sufficient energy to overcome the barrier.

∙ 13y agoA: Forward bias is a scheme to bias a device so that it will conduct riding this bias voltage. a reverse bias is a voltage to keep a circuit off or not conducting.

What are the different types of biasing?
Fixed Bias,Self Bias, Forward Bias, Reverse Bias
What are the two bias conditions for a diode?
The two bias conditions for a diode are forward and reverse
What is the voltage drop of an ideal diode?
forward bias 0 volts, reverse bias infinity volts.
Why diode conducts current in forward bias but does not conduct in reversed bias?
diode current flows only when the diode is forward biased because in reverse bias the barrier potential increases. Diode can conduct in reverse bias if applied votage is high enough to overcome the reverse bias barrier potential but it can be destructive.
Does a silicon diode conduct in reverse bias?
If it's a silicon zener diode, it conducts in the reverse direction after the rated voltage is reached. Otherwise, it only conducts in the forward bias direction.
What are the different types of biasing?

Why ammeter is connected in different way in forward and reverse bias zenner diode?
The ammeter is connected in different way in forward and reverse bias zenner diode. So that all of the board will work right going forward and reverse.
What are the two bias conditions for a diode?
The two bias conditions for a diode are forward and reverse
Is DC biased is forward biased?
Forward bias implies that your device is sensitive to bias direction and you have selected one of them. There is also an implication that it is probably a steady bias. So forward bias generally implies a dc bias in a selected direction called forward bias in the device you are looking at. Now the question is actually put the other way round. DC bias means a steady state bias. Whether or not it is forward or reverse bias depends on whether or not the device is sensitive to the direction of bias. If it is not sensitive to that, it isn't forward bias (or reverse bias either). If it is sensitive to bias direction, then it would be in a state of either forward bias or reverse bias, and you would need more information in order to say which one. So, finally, the phrase "dc biased" is NOT the same thing as "forward biased".
Forward bias and reverse bias?
forward bias is in the direction a junction or vacuum tube wants to conduct currentreverse bias is in the direction a junction or vacuum tube opposes conducting current
What will happen if no applied bias In forward bias and reverse bias?
If no forward or reverse bias is applied from outside then the diode or transistor(I'm not sure for which did you ask) is in internal equilibrium. thus there's a field created in each junction which prevents the flow of charges across it..
What is the voltage drop of an ideal diode?
forward bias 0 volts, reverse bias infinity volts.
Why do diode has two resistance values in ieone in forward bias other in reverse bias?
because the current push to the junction.
Why the resistance of forward bias is equals to zero nd resistance of reverse bias is infinite?
the junction is conducting when forward biased, approaching zero resistancethe junction is nonconducting when reverse biased, approaching infinite resistanceneither is exactly zero or infinite
What happens in the depletion region in reverse bias?
in forward biasing depletion region width decreases and in reverse biasing it increases .
Why diode conducts current in forward bias but does not conduct in reversed bias?
diode current flows only when the diode is forward biased because in reverse bias the barrier potential increases. Diode can conduct in reverse bias if applied votage is high enough to overcome the reverse bias barrier potential but it can be destructive.
