In a zener diode, the reverse bias voltage is 3V and width of the depletion region is 300 Å, the electric field intensity will be ……., `(V)/(cm)`.

A

zero

B

0.1 V

C

0.3 V

D

0.6 V

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
0.6 V
Here both the diode are in reverse bias, therefore current will not flow. Therefore potential difference between P and Q = emf of battery
= 0.6 V
