                    Application of a forward bias to a p-n junction:                                                                                  

    A)                 increases the number of donors on the n-side

    B)                 increases the electric field in the depletion zone

    C)                 increases the potential difference across the depletion zone

    D)                 widens the depletion zone

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

                    When p-side of junction diode is connected to positive of battery and n-side to the negative, then junction diode is forward biased.                                                 In this condition, more number of electrons enter in n-side from battery thereby increasing the number of donor on n-side.                 Note:    The curves for charge density, electric field and potential barrier for a p-n junction are as shown in figure below:                                 Untitled-1
