Forward biasing of a pn junction
A)lowers the potential across a junction and increases the diffusion of holes and electrons.
B)raises the potential across a junction and increases the diffusion of holes and electrons.
C)raises the potential across a junction and decreases the diffusion of holes and electrons.
D)lowers the potential across a junction and decreases the diffusion of holes and electrons.
E)None of these is correct.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Forward biasing a pn junction lowers the potential barrier across the junction, making it easier for holes and electrons to cross the junction, thereby increasing their diffusion.
