Reverse bias of a diode is a condition that essentially current through the diode. A) amplifies B) increases C) allows D) prevents

Solution

Answer:

Reverse bias of a diode is a condition that essentially ___________ current through the diode.

Option D

Prevents

Reverse bias of a diode is a condition that essentially PREVENTS current through the diode.

At reverse biased diode used in the circuit behaves as open circuit. As the diode produces infinite resistance. So current prevents for certain point i.e Breakdown voltage.
