When a forward bias is applied to a p-n junction, it (a) raises the potential barrier.(b) reduces the majority carrier current to zero.(c) lowers the potential barrier.(d) None of the above.

Answer»

The correct statement is (c).
When a forward bias is applied to a p-n junction, it lowers the value of potential barrier. In the case of a forward bias, the potential barrier opposes the applied voltage. Hence, the potential barrier across the junction gets reduced.
