Application of a forward bias to a p‐n junction: [2005]
A
increases the number of donors on the 
‐side
‐side
B
increases the electric field in the depletion zone
C
increases the potential difference across the depletion zone
D
widens the depletion zone
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
A
When 
− − side of junction diode is connected to positive of battery and 
− − side to the negative, then junction diode is forward biased.
In this condition, more number of electrons enter in 
− − side from battery, thereby increasing the number of donor on 
− − side.
