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.
