With forward biased mode, the p-n junction diode

A

in one is which width of depletion layer increases

B

is one in which potential barier increases

C

acts as closed switch

D

acts as open switch

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
When a p-n junction is in forward bias, it allows current to flow through it with minimal resistance.
Hence we can say it acts like a closed switch.
