Topic: JEE PYQ

Answer: C. Full step-by-step solution below.

  1. AAt a low temperature, the resistance of a semiconductor is very high.
  2. BMovement of holes is restricted to the valence band only.
  3. CWidth of the depletion region increases as the forward bias voltage increases in case of a N-P junction diode.
  4. DIn a forward bias condition, the diode heavily conducts.

Correct answer: C
