When forward bias is applied to a `P-N` junction, then what happence to the potential barrier `V_(B)`, and the width of charge depleted region `x`?

A

`V_(B)` increase, `x` decreases

B

`V_(B)` decreases, `x` increases

C

`V_(B)` increase, `x` increases

D

`V_(B)` decrease, `x` decreases

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
In forward biasing both `V_(B)` and `x` decreases
