Question
State True or False:
When a forward bias is applied to a p-n junction, it
A.
Raises the potential barrier.B.
Reduces the majority carrier current to zero.C.
Lowers the potential barrier.D.
None of the above.Solution
A. FALSE
B. FALSE
C. TRUE
D. FALSE
When a forward bias is applied across the p-n junction, the applied voltage opposes the barrier voltage. Due to it, the potential barrier across the junction is lowered. Hence answer (c) is correct.
