A

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

B

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

C

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

D

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

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
