p-n junction is said to be forward biased, when (a) the positive pole of the battery is joined to the p-semiconductor and negative pole to the n- semiconductor (b) the positive pole of the battery is joined to the n-semiconductor and p-semiconductor (c) the positive pole of the battery is connected to n-semiconductor and p-semiconductor (d) mechanical force is applied in the forward direction

Answer: (a). Forward bias: positive pole of battery to the p side, negative pole to the n side. This lowers the barrier and allows a large current. So the answer is (a).

P-N Junction Diode

p-n junction is said to be forward biased, when

Show answer and solution

Answer: (a)

Forward bias: positive pole of battery to the p side, negative pole to the n side.
This lowers the barrier and allows a large current.
So the answer is (a).
