Question

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

 True

 False

​

Answer 1

I believe the answer is false.

During reverse bias i.e. when we connect the +ve terminal of the battery to the n-side and –ve terminal to the p-side, the electrons in n-side will get pulled from junction region to terminal region due to attraction towards +ve terminal of battery and similarly, holes in p-side will also move from junction to terminal region.

Hence, both p-side and n-side get affected by applying reverse bias to the pn junction diode.
