Which of the following circuits represents a forward biased diode ?

Choose the correct answer from the options given below :

A diode is said to be forward biased if p-side is at higher potential than n -side of p-n junction.

(A) p-side is at lower potential than n-side. Thus, connected in reverse biased.

(B) p-side is at higher potential than n-side. Thus, connected in forward biased.

(C) p-side is at higher potential than n-side. Thus, connected in forward biased.

(D) p-side is at lower potential than n-side. Thus, connected in reverse biased.

(E) p-side is at higher potential than n-side. Thus, connected in forward biased.
