0.7 The voltage across a silicon diode when it is forward biased should be greater than or equal (>=) 0.7volts.
The current is nearly zero at a voltage less than 0.4v in a forward biased silicon diode because of the small forward-bias voltage.
The nominal forward bias voltage of a silicon diode is 0.7V, depending on current and temperature. If the cathode is 4.5V, the anode should be around 5.2V.
It is generally accepted to be approximately .7 volts.
forward drop is the same as any other silicon diode, about 0.7V
The knee voltage for silicon is approximately 0.7V, while for germanium it is around 0.3V. The knee voltage is the voltage at which a diode starts conducting significantly.
A silicon diode has a voltage drop of approximately 0.7V, while a germanium diode has a voltage drop of approximately 0.3V. Though germanium diodes are better in the area of forward voltage drop, silicon diodes are cheaper to produce and have higher breakdown voltages and current capabilities.

== When we make a semiconductor junction (a p-n junction), the electric fields force charges to shift creating what is called a depletion region. This depletion region forms a potential barrier across the junction. This potential barrier has a voltage associated with it, and that voltage is 0.3 volts (approximately) for germanium semiconductor material, and 0.7 volts (approximately) for silicon semiconductor. The terms we apply to this barrier potential are the built-in voltage (or potential), junction voltage (or potential), and contact potential. Use the link below to check facts and review some other closely related material.
A; The 1N4xxx series of rectifier diodes are specified as 1 amp forward conduction. the last number signify the maxi mun reverse voltage it can sustain without breakdown.
Forward breakover voltage (V_BO) in a Silicon Controlled Rectifier (SCR) is the minimum voltage required to trigger the device into conduction when a positive voltage is applied across its anode and cathode. Once this voltage is reached, the SCR transitions from its off state (blocking) to its on state (conducting), allowing current to flow through it. This parameter is critical for determining the SCR's operating limits in various applications, such as power control and switching.
To forward bias a germanium diode you need to reach between 0.2 and 0.3 V between anode (+) and cathode (-). Once this voltage is reached, the diode will conduct. Make sure you have a resistor to limit the forward current to a safe (for the diode, that is) value.
A silicon transistor needs about 0.65 v of forward bias on the base to begin to conduct.
A: Both diodes have the same curve in the forward direction however if the zener voltage is reverse it will breakdown at a particular voltage and remain conducting at the voltage. A regular diode will not do that the to voltage will fold back after breakdown to any voltage
It is generally accepted to be approximately .7 volts.
