The increase in the width of depletion reglon in a \(p-n\) junction diode is due to
- A increase in forward current
- B forward bias only
- C reverse bias only
- D both forward bias and reverse bias
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(C) reverse bias only
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
In reverse bias external battery attract majority charge carriers. so width of the depletion region increase
