Q6.When "p" - "n" junction diode is forward biased,then (a)the depletion region is reduced and barrier height is increased (b) the depletion region is widened and barrier height is reduced (c)both the depletion region and barrier height are reduced (d) both the depletion region and barrier height are increased

A certain p-n junction, having a depletion region of width 20 mum , was found to have a breakdown voltage of 100 V. If the width of the depletion region is reduced to 1 mu m during its production, then it can be used as a Zener diode for voltage regulation of

A zener diode has a contact potential of 1 V in the absence of biasing. It undergoes Zener breakdown for an electric field of 10^(6) V/m at the depletion region of p-n junction. If the width of the depletion region is 2.5 mu m, what should be the reverse biased potential for the Zener breakdown to occur ?

A zener diode has a contract potential of 0.8 V in the absence of biasing. It undergoes zener breakdown for an electric field of 10^(6) Vm^(-1) at the depletion region of p-n junction. If the width of the depletion region is 2-4mu m, what should be the reverse biased potential for the zener breakdown to occur?
