MCQ
When a $p-n$ diode is reverse biased, then
- Ano current flows
- ✓the depletion region is increased
- Cthe depletion region is reduced
- Dthe height of the potential barrier is reduced
✓
Answer
Correct option: B.
the depletion region is increased
b
When $p-n$ junction is reverse biased, the depletion region is increased i.e., the potential barrier increased
When $p-n$ junction is reverse biased, the depletion region is increased i.e., the potential barrier increased
