NEET Physics (general) MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-diagram based-Hard-Class 12

Consider a p-n junction diode under forward bias condition. Describe the process that occurs with respect to the potential barrier.

Question diagram
A

The potential barrier lowers, allowing increased current flow.

B

The potential barrier remains constant, inhibiting current flow.

C

The potential barrier raises, preventing current flow.

D

The potential barrier fluctuates, causing erratic current flow.

Correct Answer

Option A

Detailed Explanation

Under forward bias, the potential barrier of a p-n junction diode decreases, facilitating the flow of current as described in the NCERT context.
