Questions and Answers
- What material is a diode typically made from?
A diode is typically made from silicon, a semiconducting material.
- What are the two doped regions of a diode called?
The two doped regions of a diode are called the P region (anode) and the N region (cathode).
- What is the condition for a diode to be forward biased?
A diode is forward biased when its anode is connected to a positive voltage and its cathode is connected to a negative one, allowing current to pass through the PN junction.
