When forward biased, the P-N junction will have a low resistance, therefore the circuit
current is high. In this case the P-N junction acts like a conductor and is equivalent to a
closed switch.
When reverse biased, the P-N junction will have an extremely high resistance, therefore
the circuit current is effectively zero. In this case the P-N junction acts like an insulator and
is equivalent to an open switch.
