MCQ
In a semiconductor diode, the depletion region is removed when:
  • A
    The diode is in its forward conducting state.
  • B
    The diode is in its reverse non-conducting state.
  • C
    There is no potential difference between the anode and cathode.
  • D
    None of these

Answer

  1. The diode is in its forward conducting state.

Explanation:

In a semiconductor diode, when diode in its forward conducting state current starts in diode and depletion region starts to deformed. After sometime depletion region is removed.
