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
1st curve represents the reverse biased situation as the height of potential barrier is maximum and 3rd curve represents the forward biased situation because of the least height of potential barrier.
