Semiconductor Electronics Materials Devices and Simple Circuits - Result Question 15
15. In forward biasing of the junction [2011]
(a) the positive terminal of the battery is connected to
(b) the positive terminal of the battery is connected to
(c) the positive terminal of the battery is connected to
(d) the positive terminal of the battery is connected to
Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: 15. (d)
Solution:
- (d) In forward biasing of the p-n junction, the positive terminal of the battery is connected to
-side and the negative terminal of the battery is connected to -side. The depletion region becomes thin.
An ideal junction diode when forward biased offers zero resistance. Voltage drop across such a junction diode is zero. In reverse bias diode offers infinite resistance and voltage drop across it is equal to voltage applied.
