For a diode to be considered as on, or in a forward bias, anode

voltage should be greater than cathode voltage. Looking at the
figure, both D1 and D2’s anode voltage is 0 V while its cathode
voltage is -20 V, it satisfies the condition for a forward bias, so it is
ON.

D2

For a diode to be considered as on, or in a forward bias, anode

voltage should be greater than cathode voltage. Looking at the
figure, D1’s anode voltage is 0 V while its cathode voltage is -20 V, so
it is ON. While D2’s anode voltage is -20 V while its cathode voltage is
0V, it is OFF since its situation is that the cathode voltage is greater
than the anode voltage.

voltage should be greater than cathode voltage, looking at the figure
16V is greater than -6 V so it is ON.
