QAIPMT-2003-Ph-2755: NEET 2003 Physics - Class 12 AIPMT-2003-Ph-2755 Solution: Reverse bias applied to a junction diode
Reverse bias applied to a junction diode
Multiple Choice Options
- A lowers the potential barrier
- B raises the potential barrier
- C increases the majority carrier current
- D increases the minority carrier current
Step-by-Step Verified Solution
In reverse bias, the size of the depletion region
increases thereby increasing the potential barrier.
