Answer:

When a diode is Zero Biased no external energy source is applied and a natural Potential Barrier is developed across a depletion layer which is approximately 0.5 to 0.7v for silicon diodes and approximately 0.3 of a volt for germanium diodes.

Explanation:

The right answer is 0.7v

Answer:

B) The potential barrier of a silicon diode is 0.7 V.

Explanation:

  • The potential barrier is the potential difference formed across the P-N junction owing to electron and hole transport.
  • To break through the potential barrier, electrons and holes require a voltage that is equal to or greater than the potential barrier.
  • The potential barrier of silicon is 0.7 volts. That means that in order to make a silicon diode work, we must supply a voltage of at least 0.7V.
