3)We can bias a diode forward or reverse. Soon: a) Directly polarizing means connecting the positive of the supply to the anode of the diode and the negative of the supply to the cathode of the diode.b) When we supply a diode with alternating voltage, the diode will be forward biased when the supply is in the positive quadrant, therefore, allowing the voltage to pass minus the voltage drop across the potential barrier.c) When the diode is forward biased, it conducts an extremely small electrical voltage (leakage current). By increasing this reverse voltage applied to the diode, at a given moment, the breakdown voltage is reached.d) When the reverse voltage applied to the diode reaches the breakdown voltage, the diode stops working momentarily, as a preventive measure.e) When the diode is reverse biased, it conducts an extremely small electrical voltage (leakage current).
