Question

During reverse bias, the n side of the p-n junction alone is affected by the applied potential True False

Answer 1

i think true..........

Answer 2

During reverse bias, the n side of p-n junction is alone affected.

This is because in n type semiconductor electrons are the majority charge carriers and when in a reverse bias junction the positive terminal of battery is attached to the n semiconductor, the electrons get attracted towards the positive terminal creating holes in the layer.

At the same time the negative terminal of the battery is connected to the p semiconductor due to which electrons flow in that region and due to positive potential in the region the electrons are drifted towards the junction.
