In forward biasing of the p-n junction
- the positive terminal of the battery is connected to p-side and the depletion region becomes thick.
- the positive terminal of the battery is connected to n-side and the depletion region becomes thin.
- the positive terminal of the battery is connected to n-side and the depletion region becomes thick.
- the positive terminal of the battery is connected to p-side and the depletion region becomes thin.
Answer
(4) the positive terminal of the battery is connected to p-side and the depletion region becomes thin.
Solution
As per NCERT, in forward bias the p-side is connected to the positive terminal and the n-side to the negative terminal of the battery.
The applied voltage opposes the built-in barrier potential, so the effective barrier height decreases.
The depletion region becomes thin.
