Forward biasing of diode means applying positive potential to anode and negative potential to cathode in this case these points are happen in silicon diode-
1> Depletion Width Reduces
2>Voltage across junction is fixed at 0.7 volt
3> diode behave like short circuit (low resistance up to 400 ohm.)
4> it rectify the applied A.C signal.
ANSWER: It does not have fix .7 volts it has however an exponential VI curve which engineering take for practical as being .6 to.8 volts being forward conducting the voltage chosen depends on the actual current flowing a rectifier may have .8 volts while a signal diode may have .5 volts depending on the current flow. The resistance is just VI drop the impedance is 26mv/i

How is a non-conducting diode biased?
A nonconducting diode is biased in the reversed direction (reverse polarization).
Why the resistance of forward bias is equals to zero nd resistance of reverse bias is infinite?
the junction is conducting when forward biased, approaching zero resistancethe junction is nonconducting when reverse biased, approaching infinite resistanceneither is exactly zero or infinite
What is the forward biased knee voltage for a 1n4001 silicon diode?
A; The 1N4xxx series of rectifier diodes are specified as 1 amp forward conduction. the last number signify the maxi mun reverse voltage it can sustain without breakdown.
What is the junction resistance of pn junction diode?
The resistance of a forward biased pn junction is zero.
Can a silicon diode be forward biased if the anode voltage is negative?
To be forward biased any diode (e.g. vacuum tube, crystal, junction, point contact) must have its relative anode voltage more positive than its cathode voltage. If the absolute anode voltage is negative but the cathode voltage is even more negative, then the diode will be forward biased. But as your question made no mention at all of the cathode, I cannot tell if this is the case or not.
How much voltage is there across a silicon diode when it is forward biased?
0.7 The voltage across a silicon diode when it is forward biased should be greater than or equal (>=) 0.7volts.
What is forward biased p-n junction?
A conducting junction.
How is a non-conducting diode biased?
A nonconducting diode is biased in the reversed direction (reverse polarization).
Why is the current nearly zero at a voltage less than 0.4 v in a forward biased silicon diode?
The current is nearly zero at a voltage less than 0.4v in a forward biased silicon diode because of the small forward-bias voltage.
Why the resistance of forward bias is equals to zero nd resistance of reverse bias is infinite?
the junction is conducting when forward biased, approaching zero resistancethe junction is nonconducting when reverse biased, approaching infinite resistanceneither is exactly zero or infinite
If the cathode voltage of a forward biased silicon diode is 4.5 v what is the anode voltage?
The nominal forward bias voltage of a silicon diode is 0.7V, depending on current and temperature. If the cathode is 4.5V, the anode should be around 5.2V.
Which best describes a conducting forward-biased germanium diode?
Negitive cathode, positive anode, voltage accross barrier = 0.3V
What is the forward biased knee voltage for a 1n4001 silicon diode?
A; The 1N4xxx series of rectifier diodes are specified as 1 amp forward conduction. the last number signify the maxi mun reverse voltage it can sustain without breakdown.
What happen of a a diode When forward-biased?
when a diode is forward biased it conducts current
What is the junction resistance of pn junction diode?
The resistance of a forward biased pn junction is zero.
Can a silicon diode be forward biased if the anode voltage is negative?
To be forward biased any diode (e.g. vacuum tube, crystal, junction, point contact) must have its relative anode voltage more positive than its cathode voltage. If the absolute anode voltage is negative but the cathode voltage is even more negative, then the diode will be forward biased. But as your question made no mention at all of the cathode, I cannot tell if this is the case or not.
What happend when a diode is forward biased?
The diode conducts at its forward breakdown voltage. Depending on the current, and the type of diode, the voltage could be anywhere between 0.2 and 3.5 volts, with a nominal silicon range of 0.7 to 1.4.
