NEET Physics (general) Assertion Reason Question
Type: Assertion Reason-assertion-Medium-Class 12
Assertion (A): Increasing the forward bias voltage across a p-n junction diode reduces the barrier potential significantly. | Reason (R): A higher forward bias voltage increases the energy of carriers, allowing more to cross the depletion region.
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 A
Detailed Explanation
Increased forward bias reduces the barrier potential, allowing more carriers with higher energy to cross the junction, thereby increasing current as per the NCERT context.
