In Fig. `V_(0)` is the potential barrier across a `p-n` junction, when no battery is connected across the junction :
.

A

`1` and `3` both correspond is forward bias of junction

B

`3` corresponds to forward bias of junction and `1` corresponds to reverse bias junction

C

`1` corresponds to forward bias and `3` corresponds to reverse bias junction

D

`3` and `1` both correspond to reverse bias and `3` corresponds to revers bias of junction

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
When `p-n` junction is forward biased, it opposes the potential barrier junction, when `p-n` junction is reverse biased, it supports the potential barrier junction resulting increases in potential barrier across the junction.
