A reverse bias pn junction has_____________?

Correct answer: B. Almost no current

  • A. Very narrow depletion layer
  • B. Almost no current
  • C. Very low resistance
  • D. Large current flow

Explanation

Reverse bias widens the depletion region and strongly restricts majority-carrier flow, leaving only a very small leakage current. Thus, it has almost no current under normal operating conditions.
