The battery connections required to forward bias a pn junction are_________________?

Correct answer: A. +ve terminal to p and -ve terminal to n

  • A. +ve terminal to p and -ve terminal to n
  • B. -ve terminal to p and +ve terminal to n
  • C. -ve terminal to p and -ve terminal to n
  • D. None of the above

Explanation

Forward bias connects the positive terminal to the p-side and the negative terminal to the n-side, reducing the depletion barrier. Reversing these connections produces reverse bias.
