RE-NEET 2026 Physics Diodes MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-conceptual-Medium-Class 12

Three identical p-n junction diodes D₁, D₂ and D₃ are connected across a battery as shown in the figure. If the width of the depletion regions of D₁, D₂ and D₃ are W₁, W₂ and W₃, respectively, then the correct option is:

Question diagram
A

W₃ = W₁ > W₂

B

W₃ > W₂ > W₁

C

W₂ > W₁ = W₃

D

W₁ > W₂ > W₃

Correct Answer

Option A

Detailed Explanation

Diodes D₁ and D₃ are forward biased, reducing their depletion width, while D₂ is reverse biased, increasing its width.
