When a diode is connected to a battery as shown, electrons from the n-side and holes from
the p-side are forced toward the center by the electrical field supplied by the battery. The electrons and holes combine causing the current to pass through the diode. When a diode is arranged in this way, it is said to be forward‑ biased.
A diode’s one-way gate feature does not work all the time. Typically for silicon diodes, an applied voltage of 0.6V or greater is needed, otherwise, the diode will not conduct. This feature is useful in forming a voltage-sensitive switch.
