A A diode has two state either on [forward conduction .7 volts. Or reversed bias meaning the diode voltage polarity are revered or cut off, depends on the diode but it will leak some current , Anyhow that is reversed bias diode condition
Forward conduction voltage can vary between about 0.6 volts and about 1.4 volts depending on the diode and the current. Also, some diodes, such as zener diodes, will conduct in the reverse direction. Reverse bias is simply where the anode is more negative than the cathode.

What do you mean by peak reverse voltage of semiconductor diode?
Peak reverse voltage of a diode is the maximum reverse bias voltage can be applied to diode which does not cause break down.
What are the two bias conditions for a diode?
The two bias conditions for a diode are forward and reverse
Why diode conducts current in forward bias but does not conduct in reversed bias?
diode current flows only when the diode is forward biased because in reverse bias the barrier potential increases. Diode can conduct in reverse bias if applied votage is high enough to overcome the reverse bias barrier potential but it can be destructive.
How is zener diode different from a conventional diode or ideal diode?
zener diode :zener diode operates under reverse bias voltageideal diode :ideal diode operates under forward bias voltage
Does a silicon diode conduct in reverse bias?
If it's a silicon zener diode, it conducts in the reverse direction after the rated voltage is reached. Otherwise, it only conducts in the forward bias direction.

What happens when diode is supplied with a voltage higher than RIV in reverse bias?
when diode is supplied with a voltage higher than RIV in reverse bias, the diode will burn out and will have zero resistance.
Why diode conducts current in forward bias but does not conduct in reversed bias?
diode current flows only when the diode is forward biased because in reverse bias the barrier potential increases. Diode can conduct in reverse bias if applied votage is high enough to overcome the reverse bias barrier potential but it can be destructive.
A zener diode is invariably used with?
Reverse bias
How is zener diode different from a conventional diode or ideal diode?
zener diode :zener diode operates under reverse bias voltageideal diode :ideal diode operates under forward bias voltage
Which region zener diode can be used as regulator?
Reverse Bias
Does a silicon diode conduct in reverse bias?
If it's a silicon zener diode, it conducts in the reverse direction after the rated voltage is reached. Otherwise, it only conducts in the forward bias direction.
Why ammeter is connected in different way in forward and reverse bias zenner diode?
The ammeter is connected in different way in forward and reverse bias zenner diode. So that all of the board will work right going forward and reverse.
What is breakdown condition?
all most 50Volts when diode is in reverse bias.
What is the voltage drop of an ideal diode?
forward bias 0 volts, reverse bias infinity volts.
