Reverse bias applied to a $p-n$ junction diode

Reverse bias applied to a $p-n$ junction diode
  1. increases the minority charge carriers.
  2. lowers the potential barrier.
  3. decreases the majority charge carriers.
  4. raises the potential barrier.

Solution

In reverse bias a $p-n$ junction diode has raised potential barrier.
