In forward bias the width of depletion layer is

Question

In forward bias the width of depletion layer is (A) decreases with increase in potential barrier voltage (B) increases with increase in potential barrier voltage (C) independent of potential barrier voltage (D) None of the above

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

In forward biasing, the forward bias voltage opposes the potential barrier VB. Due to it, the potential barrier is considerably reduced, the depletion region becomes thin, the potential barrier is much reduced and at some forward voltage (0. 1 to 0.3 V), it is eliminated altogether.

Q. In forward bias the width of depletion layer is

decreases with increase in potential barrier voltage

increases with increase in potential barrier voltage

independent of potential barrier voltage

None of the above

In forward biasing, the forward bias voltage opposes the potential barrier $V_{B}$ . Due to it, the potential barrier is considerably reduced, the depletion region becomes thin, the potential barrier is much reduced and at some forward voltage $(0.1$ to $0.3 V)$ , it is eliminated altogether.
