Asking about biasing of the emitter alone does not make sense. When you talk about bias, you talk about a junction, such as emitter-base or emitter-collector or base-collector. In a bipolar junction...
Yes, a zener diode is normally operated in the reverse bias direction, cathode more positive than anode.If you forward bias a zener diode, it acts like a normal diode, with a junction voltage between...
When the polarity of the battery is such that electrons are allowed to flow through the diode,then the diode is said to be forward-biased. Conversely, when the battery is "backward" and the diode...
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...
