Question

1.Reverse bias applied to a junction diode a)lowers the potential barrier b)rises the potential barrier c)increases the majority carrier current d)increases the minority carrier current

Answer 1

Explanation:

1.Reverse bias applied to a p-n junction diode raises the potential barrier because p-type material connected to the negative terminal and pulls the holes away from the junction. Similarly, n-type material connected to the positive terminal and pulls the electrons.
