In a forward biased
-junction diode, the potential barrier in the depletion region is of the form
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsB
Potential across the
junction varies symmetrically linear, having
side negative and
side positive. We know that in a forward biased
junction diode, the repulsion of holes and electrons takes place which decreases width of potential barrier by striking the combination of holes and electrons. We also know that the options and show the potential barrier in the reverse bias, whereas in options and show the potential barrier in forward bias. Moreover, the width of depletion layer in option is less than shown in option . Thus, the option is correct.
