Forward biasing a p-n junction diode means connecting:
ABoth sides to negative
BBoth sides to positive
Cp to negative, n to positive
Dp to positive, n to negative
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: D. p to positive, n to negative
In forward bias the p-side goes to the battery's positive terminal and the n-side to the negative.
