A) no current flows
B) the depletion region is increased
C) the depletion region is reduced
D) the height of the potential barrier is reduced
Correct Answer: B
Solution :
In reverse biasing, the applied voltage V on the n-side is positive and is negative on the p-side. The applied bias V and the barrier potential Vg are in the same direction making the effective junction potential \[V+{{V}_{g}}\]. As a result, the junction width will increase. The higher junction potential would restrict the flow of majority carriers to a much greater extent. However, such a field will favour theYou need to login to perform this action.
