(C) $p-n$ junction diode is reverse biased when the $p$-terminal (anode) is at a lower potential than the $n$-terminal (cathode).Let us analyze each figure:$(a)$ $p$-side is at $+6 	ext{ V}$,$n$-side is at $-2 	ext{ V}$. Since $V_p > V_n$,it is forward biased.$(b)$ $p$-side is at $-5 	ext{ V}$,$n$-side is at $+3 	ext{ V}$. Since $V_p $(c)$ $p$-side is at $0 	ext{ V}$ (ground),$n$-side is at $-10 	ext{ V}$. Since $V_p > V_n$,it is forward biased.$(d)$ $p$-side is at $+6 	ext{ V}$,$n$-side is at $0 	ext{ V}$ (ground). Since $V_p > V_n$,it is forward biased.Therefore,the diode in figure $(b)$ is reverse biased.

Condition	$V$	$I$
Forward biasing	$2.0 \, V$	$60 \, mA$
Forward biasing	$2.4 \, V$	$80 \, mA$
Reverse biasing	$0 \, V$	$0 \, \mu A$
Reverse biasing	$-2 \, V$	$-0.25 \, \mu A$

In which of the following figures is the $p-n$ junction diode reverse biased?
