Reverse Bias Diode Circuit Diagram. For different values of voltages the value of the current is noted. A graph between v and i is obtained as in figure.
Diode circuit voltage measurements. While in reverse bias the potential difference increases the strength of the barrier which prevents the charge carrier to move across the. Forward bias diode configuration.
Why zener diodes work in reverse bias.
If a pn junction diode is in reverse biasing it was learnt that mobile holes and electrons were wiped from the space charge section. The forward bias reduces the potential barrier of the diode and establishes the easy path for the flow of current. The junction is said to be reverse biased when the p section of the diode is connected to the negative terminal of the battery and the n section of the diode is connected to the positive terminal of the battery.
