Question

In the middle of the depletion layer of a reverse-biased p-n junction, the (A) electric field is zero (B) potential is maximum (C) electric field is maximum (D) potential is zero

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

Due to the reverse biasing, the width of depletion region increases and current flowing through the diode is almost zero. In this case, electric field is almost zero at the middle of the depletion region.

Q. In the middle of the depletion layer of a reverse-biased p−n junction, the

electric field is zero

potential is maximum

electric field is maximum

potential is zero

Due to the reverse biasing, the width of depletion region increases and current flowing through the diode is almost zero. In this case, electric field is almost zero at the middle of the depletion region.
