The width of depletion layer of a p-n junction diode, when it is (i) forward biased and (ii) reverse biased respectively
  1. increases and increases.
  2. decreases and decreases.
  3. increases and decreases
  4. decreases and increases.

Solution

(i) The width of depletion layer of a p-n junction decreases when the junction is forward biased. (ii) The width of depletion layer of a p-n junction increases when the junction is reverse biased.
