In forward biased situation, as the biasing voltage is increased the current:
Correct answer: C. Also increases
- A. Does not change
- B. Decreases
- C. Also increases
- D. None of these
Explanation
When a diode is forward biased, increasing the applied voltage increases the current flowing through it. This is due to the reduction in the depletion region's width and the increase in the number of charge carriers available for conduction, which leads to higher current flow.

About Electronics
A p-n junction forms when p-type and n-type semiconductor regions meet, creating a depletion layer, barrier potential and rectifying action. The work covers forward and reverse bias, junction current, diode characteristics, and how a diode converts alternating current into pulsating direct current through half-wave and full-wave rectification.
