The increase in the width of the depletion region in a p-n junction...

The increase in the width of the depletion region in a p-n junction diode is due to:

Options

  1. Areverse bias only
  2. Bboth forward bias and reverse bias
  3. Cincrease in forward current
  4. Dforward bias only

Correct answer

A. reverse bias only

Step-by-step solution

In reverse bias external battery attract majority charge carriers.
so width of the depletion region increase
