In figure given below 
is the potential barrier across a p-n junction, when no battery is connected across the junction:
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
B
When p-n junction is forward biased, it opposes the potential barrier junction. When p-n junction is reverse biased, it supports the potential barrier junction, resulting increase in potential barrier across the junction.
