NEET Physics (general) Assertion Reason Question
Type: Assertion Reason-assertion-Easy-Class 12
Assertion (A): The depletion layer in a p-n junction consists of immobile ion-cores devoid of their electrons or holes. | Reason (R): In forward bias, the junction potential barrier is increased, allowing more charge carriers to flow across the junction.
A
Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A.
B
Both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation of A.
C
A is true but R is false.
D
A is false.
Correct Answer
Option C
Detailed Explanation
The depletion layer indeed consists of immobile ion-cores, but in forward bias, the potential barrier is decreased, not increased.
