(B) diode is reverse-biased when the potential at the $P$-terminal $(V_P)$ is lower than the potential at the $N$-terminal $(V_N)$,i.e.,$V_P Checking the options:$(A)$ $V_P = 5 	ext{ V}$,$V_N = 0 	ext{ V}$. Since $5 	ext{ V} > 0 	ext{ V}$,it is forward-biased.$(B)$ $V_P = -20 	ext{ V}$,$V_N = -10 	ext{ V}$. Since $-20 	ext{ V} $(C)$ $V_P = 15 	ext{ V}$,$V_N = 10 	ext{ V}$. Since $15 	ext{ V} > 10 	ext{ V}$,it is forward-biased.$(D)$ $V_P = 10 	ext{ V}$,$V_N = -5 	ext{ V}$. Since $10 	ext{ V} > -5 	ext{ V}$,it is forward-biased.Therefore,the correct option is $(B)$.

Which two important processes occur during the formation of a $p-n$ junction?

$A$ $2\,V$ battery forward biases a diode. There is a drop of $0.5\,V$ across the diode which is independent of current. Also,a current greater than $10\,mA$ produces large joule heat and damages the diode. If the diode is to be operated at $5\,mA$,the series resistance to be used is:
