A diode can be connected in two ways:
1.) Forward biasing
A diode is said to be forward-biased if the positive terminal of the battery is connected to the anode and the negative terminal of the battery is connected to the cathode.
The forward bias diode works like a closed switch and allows the current through itself.
2.) Reverse biasing
A diode is said to be reverse-biased if the positive terminal of the battery is connected to the cathode and the negative terminal of the battery is connected to the anode.
The reverse bias diode blocks the current passage and works as an open switch.
