With forward bias to a pn junction , the width of depletion layer__________________?
Correct answer: A. Decreases
- A. Decreases
- B. Increases
- C. Remains the same
- D. None of the above
Explanation
Forward bias opposes the junction’s built-in electric field, reducing the barrier potential and narrowing the depletion layer. Reverse bias would widen it.
