Practicing Success
Consider the following statements A and B and identify the correct choice of the given answers. (A) The width of the depletion layer in a p-n junction diode increases in forward bias. (B) In an intrinsic semiconductor the Fermi energy level is exaclty in the middle of the forbidden gap. |
A is true and B is False Both A and B are false A is false and B is true Both A and B is true |
A is false and B is true |
When a p-n junction diode is forward biased the thickness of depletion layer decreases and thereby the current across the junction increases. In an intrinsic semi-conductor, Fermi energy level will be in the middle of the forbidden gap. |
