A) increases when a forward bias is applied
B) increases when a reverse bias is applied
C) decreases when a reverse bias is applied
D) remains same irrespective of bias voltage
Correct Answer: B
Solution :
In reverse biasing mode, the applied voltage V mostly drops across the depletion region of p-n junction and its direction of voltage is same as that of potential barrier\[{{V}_{B}}\]. Due to it, the reverse bias voltage supports the potential barrier, hence, increasing the barrier height and width of depletion layer.You need to login to perform this action.
