Question

Which of the following statements is not correct when a junction diode is in forward bias?

• A. The width of depletion region decreases.
• B. Free electrons on n-side will move towards' the junction.
• C. Holes on p-side move towards the junction.
• D. Electron on n-side and holes on p-side will move away from junction.

Answer 1

Answer: (D)

In forward biasing both electrons and protons move towards the junction and hence the width of depletion region decreases.
