Q. If the forward bias voltage in a $p-n$ junction diode is decreased, the length of depletion region will

J & K CETJ & K CET 2015Semiconductor Electronics: Materials Devices and Simple Circuits

Solution:

Due to application of forward biased voltage, the length of depletion region decreases and vice versa. Thus, decrease in forward biased voltage increases the length of depletion region.
