forward bias
forward bias The d.c. voltage required to maintain current flow in a
bipolar transistor or
diode or to enhance current flow in a
field-effect transistor. For example, a silicon diode will conduct current only if its anode is at a positive voltage compared to its cathode; it is then said to be
forward biased. This voltage will be approximately 0.6 volts. Compare
reverse bias.
