    If the forward voltage in a diode is increased, the width of the depletion region:

    A)  increases                           

    B)  decreases   

    C)  fluctuates                          

    D)  no change

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    On increasing the forward bias voltage, the barrier energy decreases. This results in the flow of majority charge carriers. Hence, width of depletion region decreases.
