Theory: A p-n junction diode conducts only in one direction. The V-I characteristics of the diode are curve
between voltage across the diode and current through the diode. When external voltage is zero, circuit is
open, and the potential barrier does not allow the current to flow. Therefore, the circuit current is zero.
When P-type (Anode is connected to +ve terminal and n- type (cathode) is connected to –ve terminal of the
supply voltage, is known as forward bias. The potential barrier is reduced when diode is in the forward
biased condition. At some forward voltage, the potential barrier altogether eliminated and current starts
flowing through the diode and also in the circuit. The diode is said to be in ON state. The current increases
with increasing forward voltage.

When N-type (cathode) is connected to +ve terminal and P-type (Anode) is connected to –ve terminal of
the supply voltage is known as reverse bias and the potential barrier across the junction increases. Therefore,
the junction resistance becomes very high and a very small current (reverse saturation current) flows in the
circuit. The diode is said to be in OFF state. The reverse bias current due to minority charge carriers.
