In forward bias, the width of potential barrier in a p-n junction diode

1. increases
2. decreases
3. remains constant
4. first ‘1’ then ‘2’

Correct answer: decreases

Solution

In forward bias, the applied voltage reduces the potential barrier, allowing charge carriers to flow more easily, which decreases the width of the depletion region.
