When forward bias is applied to a `P-N` junction, then what happence to the potential barrier `V_(B)`, and the width of charge depleted region `x`?

A

`V_B` increases, x decreases

B

`V_B` decreases, x increases

C

`V_B` increases, x increases

D

`V_B` decreases, x decreases

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
In forward bias, both `v_B` and x decreases.
