The figure shows two diagrams in which diode and resistance are connected. Out of the following statements which one is TRUE?

Options

  1. Adiagram (A) and diagram (B) both are forward biased.
  2. Bdiagram (A) forward biased and diagram (B) reverse biased.
  3. Cdiagram (A) and diagram (B) both are reverse biased.
  4. Ddiagram (A) reverse biased and diagram (B) forward biased.

Correct answer

D. diagram (A) reverse biased and diagram (B) forward biased.

Step-by-step solution

The anode in diagram (a) has a lower voltage than the cathode. as a result it is skewed in the opposite direction .the anode in diagram(b) has a higher potential than the cathodes. as a result it is in forward biased
