MDCAT Physics MCQ #703

1. Question 1

   Q1. A circuit contains a battery, a resistor, and a diode. What happens when the diode is forward-biased?

   • A) The current increases due to the applied voltage
   • B) The current decreases due to the high resistance
   • C) The current remains the same due to the battery's voltage
   • D) The current is zero due to the diode's reverse-biased state

   Answer: The current increases due to the applied voltage

   Explanation: Forward-biasing a diode allows the current to flow, increasing due to the applied voltage.
