In forward biasing of the p–n junction :

Topic: NEET PYQ

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

  1. Athe positive terminal of the battery is connected to p–side and the depletion region becomes thick
  2. Bthe positive terminal of the battery is connected to n–side and the depletion region becomes thin
  3. Cthe positive terminal of the battery is connected to n–side and the depletion region becomes thick
  4. Dthe positive terminal of the battery is connected to p–side and the depletion region becomes thin

Correct answer: D

Solution

(d) In forward biasing, the positive terminal of the battery is connected to p-side and the negative terminal to -side of p-n junction. The forward bias voltage opposes the potential barrier. Due to it, the depletion region becomes thin.
