Type: MCQ-diagram based-Medium-Class 12
Consider a p-n junction with an applied forward bias. Which of the following statements correctly describes the effect of forward bias on the depletion layer and potential barrier?
A
The depletion layer widens, and the potential barrier increases.
B
The depletion layer narrows, and the potential barrier decreases.
C
The depletion layer remains the same, but the potential barrier decreases.
D
The depletion layer narrows, and the potential barrier remains unchanged.
Correct Answer
Option B
Detailed Explanation
In forward bias, the potential barrier is decreased, and the depletion layer narrows, allowing more carriers to cross the junction.
