When a p-n junction is reverse biased:
- A Width of depletion region decreases
- B The drift of electrons and holes stops.
- C Potential barrier decreases
- D The diffusion of electrons and holes stops
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(D) The diffusion of electrons and holes stops
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
The diffusion of electrons and holes stops This is essentially correct for the majority carriers. The increased potential barrier and electric field strongly suppress the flow (diffusion) of majority carriers (electrons from n to p, and holes from p to n) across the junction,…

Carboxylic acids are the earliest organic compounds isolated from nature. These are also known as organic acids but are weaker acids as compared to mineral acids. However, they are more acidic than alcohols and phenols because of greater resonance stabilization of the parent acid and its conjugate base. The acidic strength is determined by the \(K _a\), which is called the acidity constant. The greater the value of \(K _a\), the greater the tendency of the acid to ionize and hence the stronger the acid. The acidic strength of the saturated aliphatic carboxylic acid depends upon the inductive effect and its position with respect to - COOH groups. Electron -donating substituents tend to decrease whereas electron -withdrawing substituents tend to increase the acidic strength. The acidic strength of the aromatic carboxylic acid, on the other hand depends upon both the inductive effect and the resonance effect of the substituents.
