DC forward voltage is generally related to diodes. It means the voltage across the diode when the diode is forward biased, i.e. when the anode is more positive than the cathode. The forward voltage is the drop across the diode. The amount of drop is a function of current. For typical silicon diodes, the forward voltage drop ranges from 0.6 volts for very small currents, to 1.5 or more volts for large currents.

What is forward current?

This is the current that flows under the application of a forward voltage. For eg. the dc forward current for an LED may be 30 mA when a forward voltage of 2.0V is applied.


What DC operating point means?

"The application of a DC voltage in forward bias mode to a circuit containing a diode will result in a specific DC voltage and DC current across the diode, known as the DC operating point, Q point (VDQ, IDQ)." source: http://www.doe.carleton.ca/~achar/notes_2507/Lab3_tutorial_diodes.pdf


How does clipping circuits work in lab?

A clipping circuit works by the switching action of a diode when it is used in a circuit with a source voltage that changes polarity. In the forward direction, the diode's voltage is added to any dc value that is in series with it. If the source voltage is greater than the dc value at a particular instance, the diode will limit the output to the dc value. Otherwise the output voltage will equal the input voltage.


Is less than or greater than zero external voltage applied on diode when you deal with forward biased?

A forward-biased diode has a positive DC on its anode with respect to its cathode.

What happened to electron under ac voltage and dc voltage?

when electrons flow under AC they flow in both direction firstly forward then in reverse and it does this for as long as there is a potential difference applied to the circuit. under DC the current only flows in one direction only
