Q1:

With a 12 V supply, a silicon diode, and a 370-ohm resistor in series, what voltage will be dropped across the diode?

A 0.3 V

B 0.7 V

C 0.9 V

D 1.4 V

ANS:B - 0.7 V

IF P type semiconductor is connected to the positive terminal of the battery and N type semiconductor is connected to the negative terminal of the battery then this condition is said to be in forward bias condition.
