If \(\mathrm{p}-\mathrm{n}\) junction diode is reverse biased then
- A potential barrier decreases.
- B width of the depletion layer decreases.
- C electrical conduction is possible.
- D width of the depletion layer increases.
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(D) width of the depletion layer increases.
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
(B)
When p-n junction is reverse biased, the depletion region is increased i.e., the potential barrier increased.
When p-n junction is reverse biased, the depletion region is increased i.e., the potential barrier increased.
