The N end is connected to the positive terminal of the battery
The P end is connected to the positive terminal of the battery
The direction of the current is from N end to the P end in the diode
The P end is connected to the negative terminal of the battery
Q2 In a PN junction diode
The current in the reverse biased condition is generally very small
The current in the reverse biased condition is generally very small but the forward-biased current is independent of the bias voltage
The reverse-biased current is strongly dependent on the applied bias voltage
The forward biased current is very small in comparison to reverse-biased current.
