During forward bias in a p-n junction :

  1. A Width of the depletion layer increases and resistance increases
  2. B Width of the depletion layer decreases and resistance decreases
  3. C Width of the depletion layer increases and resistance decreases
  4. D Width of the depletion layer decreases and resistance increases
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) Width of the depletion layer decreases and resistance decreases

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

In forward bias, the applied voltage opposes the built-in potential, pushing majority carriers toward the junction. This reduces the depletion width and allows current to flow easily, resulting in lower resistance. B) Width of the depletion layer decreases and resistance…
