    Question

    When a forward bias is applied to a p-n junction,

    it
    A Raises the potential barrier. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Reduce the majority carrier current to zero. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Lower the potential barrier. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D None of the above. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    When forward bias is applied to a p-n junction, it lowers the values of potential barrier. In the case of forward bias, the potential barrier is opposed by the applied voltage. Hence, the potential barrier across the junction gets reduced.
