If a p-n junction diode of depletion layer width W and barrier height `V_(0)` is forward biased, then

Options

A. W increases, `V_(0)` decreases
B. W decreases, `V_(0)` increases
C. both W and `V_(0)` increase
D. both W and `V_(0)` decrease

Answer

D

Explanation

If a p-n junction diode of depletion layer width W and barrier height `v_(0)` is forward biased, then both W and `V_(0)` decrease.
