Q. When the reverse bias is applied to a unction diode

A
The minority carrier current is increased
B
The majority carrier current is increased
C
The potential barrier is lowered
D
The potential barrier is increased
Solution:

The net result when reverse bias is applied to PN junction is that the depletion layer grows wider due to lack of electrons and holes and presents a high impedance path. The result is that a high potential barrier is created thus preventing current from flowing through the semiconductor material.
