When a forward biased is applied to a diode, the electrons enter to which region of the diode?(a) P-region(b) N-region(c) P-n junction(d) Metal sideThe question was posed to me by my school principal while I was bunking the class.My doubt stems from The Current Components in a P-N junction diode topic in section Semiconductor-Diode Characteristics of Electronic Devices & Circuits

Answer»

Correct ANSWER is (a) P-region

To EXPLAIN I WOULD say: When the forward biased is APPLIED, the electrons enter to the p-region and the holes enter to the n-region so that holes can FLOW from p-region to n-region. Whereas, the electrons can travel from n-region to p-region.
