If the forward voltage in a p-n junction diode is increased, the width of the depletion region :

  1. A increases
  2. B decreases
  3. C fluctuates
  4. D no change
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) decreases

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

In forward bias, the applied voltage opposes the built-in potential, pushing majority carriers (holes and electrons) toward the junction. This movement neutralizes the layers of immobile ions at the interface, thereby decreasing the width of the depletion region. B) decreases.
