parallel when a diode is________. -----Answers----Reverse biased,
forward biased.
What is the purpose of a diode limiting circuit? -----Answers----To
limit amplitude of the input.

from a low resistance in emitter base to? -----Answers----High
resistance in collector base.
Ie (Emitter current) = ? -----Answers----Ib (base current) + Ic
(collector current)
