If the forward voltage in a p-n junction diode is increased, the width of the depletion region :
- A increases
- B decreases
- C fluctuates
- D no change
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.

Recombinant DNA Technology
Asexual reproduction preserves the genetic information, while sexual reproduction permits variation. Traditional hybridization procedures used in plants and animals breeding very often lead to inclusion and multiplication of undesirable genes along with the desired genes. The techniques of genetic engineering, which include creation of recombinant DNA, use of gene cloning and gene transfer, overcome this limitation and allow us to isolate and introduce only one or a set of desirable genes without introducing genes into the target organism.
Which one of the following techniques is used to amplify a specific DNA
