(b) decreases

(c) remains constant

(d) first ’ 1 ’ then ’ 2 '

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: 41. (b)

Solution:

  1. (b) We know that in forward bias of $p-n$ junction diode, when positive terminal is connected to $p$-type diode, the repulsion of holes takes place which decreases the width of potential barrier by striking the combination of holes and electrons.
