Forward-biased diode: an ideal diode conducts electricity when a voltage of 0.6V is applied in the forward direction. This means current flows from the anode (positive) to the cathode (negative).

Light Emitting Diodes exploit the property of the p-n junction to emit photons when it is forward biased. LEDs are specially made diodes to emit light when a potential is applied to its anode and ...

A zener diode is like a normal silicon diode, where a forward biased diode will pass current with a ~1 volt drop. When a zener diode is reversed biased, there’s a different voltage drop ...
