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 to forward bias of junction

B

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

C

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

D

3 and 1 both correspond to reverse bias of junction.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
Height of potential barrier decreases when p-n junction is forward biased and it increases when junction is reverse biased.
