In the following circuits,which one of the diodes is reverse biased?

In an unbiased $P-N$ junction,holes diffuse from the $p-$ region to $n-$ region because

The current-voltage relation of a diode is given by $I = (e^{1000V/T} - 1) \; mA$,where the applied voltage $V$ is in volts and the temperature $T$ is in Kelvin. If a student makes an error of $\pm 0.01 \; V$ while measuring the voltage to obtain a current of $5 \; mA$ at $300 \; K$,what will be the error in the value of the current in $mA$?

Consider a $p-n$ junction as a capacitor, formed with $p$ and $n$-materials acting as thin metal electrodes and depletion layer width acting as separation between them. Basing on this, assume that an $n-p-n$ transistor is working as an amplifier in $CE$ configuration. If $C_1$ and $C_2$ are the base-emitter and collector-emitter junction capacitances, then :
