If the forward bias is less than the barrier potential, what condition is the diode in?
 
  A) The diode will conduct heavily because the barrier potential is greater than the forward bias
  B) The diode will not conduct until forward bias is greater than the barrier potential
  C) The diode will actually conduct some small amount ofcurrent
  D) The diode will function as a 1k resistor

Question 2

What denotes the maximum voltage a diode can withstand when reverse-biased?
 
  A) Peak inverse voltage B) Peak forward-bias voltage
  C) Reverse breakdown D) Reverse bias
