Forward bias applied to a p-n junction diode

  1. A widens the depletion region
  2. B increases the number of donors on the n-side
  3. C decreases the electric field in the depletion region
  4. D increases the potential difference across the depletion region
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) decreases the electric field in the depletion region

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

decreases the electric field in the depletion region This is correct. In forward bias, the electric field in the depletion region is reduced because the external voltage opposes the built-in potential, allowing more charge carriers to flow and decreasing the width of the…
