Question

The battery connection required to forward bias a PN junction are:
Options
A +ve terminal to P and -ve terminal to N
Correct Answer
B -ve terminal to P and +ve terminal to N
C -ve terminal to P and -ve terminal to N
D none of the above
Correct Answer

Option A is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

For a PN junction diode to be forward biased, the positive terminal of the external battery must be connected to the P-side (anode) and the negative terminal to the N-side (cathode). This reduces the width of the depletion region and allows current to flow.

Hint

Recall the conditions for forward biasing a diode.
