If $\mathrm{p}-\mathrm{n}$ junction diode is in forward bias then

If $\mathrm{p}-\mathrm{n}$ junction diode is in forward bias then
  1. width of depletion layer increases
  2. electric conduction is not possible at all
  3. barrier voltage increases
  4. width of depletion layer decreases

Solution

Potential drop across the junction decreases and diffusion of holes and electrons across the junction increases. It makes the width of the depletion layer smaller.
