Reverse bias applied to a junction diodeA. lowers the potential barrierB. decreases the majority charge carriersC. raises the potential barrierD. changes the mass of p-n junction diode |
|
Answer» Correct Answer - C Reverse bias applied to a p-n junction diode raises the potential barrier because p-type material connected to the negative terminal and pulles the holes away from the junction. Similarly, n-type material connected to positive terminal and pulles the electrons. Therefore, the depletion region widens. |
