MCQ

In forward biasing of the $p-n$ junction

A
the positive terminal of the battery is connected to $p-$ side and the depletion region becomes thick.
B
the positive terminal of the battery is connected to $n-$ side and the depletion region becomes thick.
C
the positive terminal of the battery is connected to $n-$ side and the depletion region becomes thin.
✓
the positive terminal of the battery is connected to $p-$ side and the depletion region becomes thin.

✓

Answer

Correct option: D.

the positive terminal of the battery is connected to $p-$ side and the depletion region becomes thin.

d
In forward biasing, the positive terminal of the battery is connected to $p-$side and the negative terminal to $n-$side of $p-n$ junction. The fmward bias voltage opposes the potential barrier. Due to it, the depletion region becomes thin.
