The built-in potential of a p-n junction diode is \(0.7 \mathrm{~V}\). If the diode is forward biased and the applied voltage is 0.3 \(\mathrm{V}\), the effective barrier height is

  1. A \(0.7 \mathrm{~V}\)
  2. B \(0.3 \mathrm{~V}\)
  3. C \(0.4 \mathrm{~V}\)
  4. D \(1 \mathrm{~V}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(0.4 \mathrm{~V}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(V_{eff} = V_{bi} - V_{applied}\) \(V_{eff} = 0.7 \mathrm{~V} - 0.3 \mathrm{~V}\) \(V_{eff} = 0.4 \mathrm{~V}\)
