NEETPhysicsSemiconductor ElectronicsMCQ+4 / −1
Reverse bias applied to a junction diode
  1. A
    lowers the potential barrier
  2. B
    raises the potential barrier
  3. C
    increases the majority carrier current
  4. D
    increases the minority carrier current
View written solutionFree

Correct answer: B

In reverse bias, the size of the depletion region increases thereby increasing the potential barrier.
