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.
