1.	What are called forward bias and reverse bias?
Answer» If the positive terminal of the external voltage source is connected to the pside and the negative terminal to the nside, it is called forward bias. If the positive terminal of the battery is connected to the n-side and the negative potential to the p-side, the junction is said to be reverse biased.
