Q. Which of the following statements is not correct when a junction diode is in forward bias?
A) The width of depletion region decreases.
B) Free electrons on $n$-side will move towards the junction.
C) Holes on $p$-side move towards the junction.
D) Electrons on $n$-side and holes on $p$-side will move away from junction.
Explanation
(d) In forward biasing both electrons and protons move towards the junction and hence the width of depletion region decreases.
