In a PN-junction diode
The current in the reverse biased condition is generally very small
The current in the reverse biased condition is small but the forward biased current is independent of the bias voltage
The reverse biased current is strongly dependent on the applied bias voltage
The forward biased current is very small in comparison to reverse biased current
P -N junction as diode -
It is a one way device. It offers a low resistance when forward biased and high resistance when reverse biased.
- wherein
R = 0, Forward
R Reverse
In forward biased condition resistance produced by P-N junction diode is very small and hence current is very large. In Reserve Biased condition ,resistance is very high and hence current is very small
