Practice question from Semiconductor Electronics (Class 12 · CBSE · Science Physics), with the correct answer and a step-by-step solution.
easy · MCQ · Q-2B1C49
The forward bias in a semiconductor diode:
- A.Increases the potential barrier
- B.Decreases the width of the depletion regionCorrect answer
- C.Increases the number of minority carriers
- D.Increases the resistance of the depletion region
Solution
In forward biasing, the positive terminal of the battery is connected to the p-side and negative to the n-side. This opposes the internal barrier potential, thereby reducing the width of the depletion layer and lowering the barrier height.
