This presentation summarizes forward and reverse biasing of diodes. It defines a diode as a semiconductor device that allows current to flow easily in one direction. Forward biasing occurs when voltage allows natural current flow through the diode, while reverse biasing applies voltage in the opposite direction. Circuits are shown demonstrating forward and reverse biased diodes in a simulator. Zener diodes are also introduced as diodes designed to operate in reverse bias by conducting at a precise breakdown voltage.
