Semiconductor Electronics Materials Devices and Simple Circuits - Result Question 1
1. The increase in the width of the depletion region in a p-n junction diode is due to :
(a) reverse bias only
[2020]
(b) both forward bias and reverse bias
(c) increase in forward current
(d) forward bias only
Show Answer
Solution:
- (a) Due to reverse biasing, the width of the depletion region increases in a $p-n$ junction diode.
