MCQ
In forward biasing of the $p-n$ junction
  • A
    the positive terminal of the battery is connected to $p-$ side and the depletion region becomes thick.
  • B
    the positive terminal of the battery is connected to $n-$ side and the depletion region becomes thick.
  • C
    the positive terminal of the battery is connected to $n-$ side and the depletion region becomes thin.
  • the positive terminal of the battery is connected to $p-$ side and the depletion region becomes thin.

Answer

Correct option: D.
the positive terminal of the battery is connected to $p-$ side and the depletion region becomes thin.
d
In forward biasing, the positive terminal of the battery is connected to $p-$side and the negative terminal to $n-$side of $p-n$ junction. The fmward bias voltage opposes the potential barrier. Due to it, the depletion region becomes thin.

A capacitor has air as dielectric medium and two conducting plates of area $12 \mathrm{~cm}^2$ and they are $0.6 \mathrm{~cm}$ apart. When a slab of dielectric having area $12 \mathrm{~cm}^2$ and $0.6 \mathrm{~cm}$ thickness is inserted between the plates, one of the conducting plates has to be moved by $0.2 \mathrm{~cm}$ to keep the capacitance same as in previous case. The dielectric constant of the slab is : (Given $\left.\epsilon_0=8.834 \times 10^{-12} \mathrm{~F} / \mathrm{m}\right)$
