Application of a forward biase to a `p-n` junction:

A

Increases the number of donors on the n-side

B

Increases the electric field in the depletion zone

C

Increases the potential difference across the depletion zone

D

Widens the depletion zone

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A

Move number of electrons enter from n to p side, hence donor on n – side increases.
