Question

When p-n junction diode is forward biased- potential barrierincreasesremains the samedecreasesmay increase or decrease

Toppr Admin · Accepted Answer

The correct option is C decreasesThe width of the depletion layer in a p-n junction-xA0-diode decreases in forward bias due to repulsion of carriers from-xA0-battery terminals- holes from-xA0-p-type and electrons from-xA0-n-type- Now- due to small number of ions in depletion region its potential decreases-
