Q132 / 180 · AIIMS 2006 · Physics

When a $p$-n diode is reverse biased, then

  • A
    no current flows
  • Correct answer
    B
    the depletion region is increased
  • C
    the depletion region is reduced
  • D
    the height of the potential barrier is reduced.

Solution

In reverse biased, the depletion region of $p-n$ diode is increased.

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'B'.
