Forward biased is the configuratiuon that a diode conducts.
a diode will conduct when anode is more positive than the cathode
A diode connected in this way is a flyback diode or kickback diode. There are some other names that may be applied. The diode is a protection device. When power to the coil is discontinued, the electromagnetic field around the coil will collapse. The collapse of that field will induce a voltage, and this could expose circuit elements to "kickback" from the field collapse. The polarity of the induced voltage will, however, forward bias the diode, and it will conduct current for an instant. The inductive kickback of the coil will thus be damped by that diode.
diode is a bipolar device and transister is a three terminal device a diode will conduct any time there is a positive voltage from cathode[-] to anode[+] following an exponetial curve of the diode. a transistor can control the same exponential curves by a voltage applied to the base.
A diode is a silicon semiconductor meaning it will conduct one way because of the pphysical doping during manufacture
it is a rectify diode
A light emitting diode does not conduct in both directions.
a diode will conduct when anode is more positive than the cathode
A diode will only conduct electricity if the polarity of the current is in the correct direction, because diodes can only conduct in one direction.
The side of any diode that must be negative in order for the diode to conduct is the "cathode".
forward bias
A: A diode array that will conduct if anyone of them are hi as in gates
place the multimeter on the diode. then connect the plobs to the hv diode. it can only conduct in one direction, not both ways. good luck
A diode is a semiconductor meaning it will conduct from anode to cathode if the anode is held positive. Reversing the polarity Will in effect block current flow.

In one way it will, in the other it won't

A: A zener is a diode that if reversed voltage is applied will conduct at a certain voltage. This diode zener therefore will conduct at a preset voltage limiting the over voltage to the diode conducting voltage and no more so the load can see the voltage up to the zener voltage and no more because the zener will sink the extra current from over voltage situation.
