Title: Forward-bias a diode.
Course: Electronics Systems II (17106-II) > Section: Exploring Diodes

Forward-biasing should include

- hydraulic check valve analogy
- current flow prohibited
- current flow permitted
- polarity.

Process/Skill Questions:

- What are ways to visually check the polarity of a diode?
- What are ways to represent electrical components as equivalent water circuits?
- Why should one forward-bias a diode?
