When forward bias is applied to a P-N junction, then what happens to the potential barrierVBV_{B}, and the width of charge depleted region x.

A

VBV_{B} increases, x decreases

B

VBV_{B} decreases, x increases

C

VBV_{B} increases, x increases

D

VBV_{B} decreases, x decreases

Answer

VBV_{B} decreases, x decreases

Explanation

Solution

In forward biasing both VB and x decreases.
