Q154 / 170 · Manipal (MET) 2018 · Physics

In the figure shown below, which of the diodes are forward biased?

A
1,2,3
Correct answer
B
2,4,5
C
1,3,4
D
2,3,4

Solution

p-n junction diode will be forward biased, if greater positive potential is given to $p$-side. So, diodes $2,4,5$ are forward biased.

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'B'.
