In Fig. `V_(0)` is the potential barrier across a `p-n` junction, when no battery is connected across the junction :
.
A. `1` and `3` both correspond is forward bias of junction
B. `3` corresponds to forward bias of junction and `1` corresponds to reverse bias junction
C. `1` corresponds to forward bias and `3` corresponds to reverse bias junction
D. `3` and `1` both correspond to reverse bias and `3` corresponds to revers bias of junction

A. `1` and `3` both correspond is forward bias of junction
B. `3` corresponds to forward bias of junction and `1` corresponds to reverse bias junction
C. `1` corresponds to forward bias and `3` corresponds to reverse bias junction
D. `3` and `1` both correspond to reverse bias and `3` corresponds to revers bias of junction
Correct Answer – B
When `p-n` junction is forward biased, it opposes the potential barrier junction, when `p-n` junction is reverse biased, it supports the potential barrier junction resulting increases in potential barrier across the junction.
