Question:

In forward biasing of the p-n junction

Options:

the positive terminal of the battery is connected to p-side and the depletion region becomes thick

the positive terminal of the battery is connected to n-side and the depletion region becomes thin

the positive terminal of the battery is connected to n-side and the depletion region becomes thick

the positive terminal of the battery is connected to p-side and the depletion region becomes thin

Correct Answer:

the positive terminal of the battery is connected to p-side and the depletion region becomes thin

Explanation:

In forward biasing of the p-n junction, the positive terminal of the battery is connected to p-side and the negative terminal of the battery is connected to n- side. The depletion region becomes thin.
