Two identical p-n junctions are connected in series in three different ways as shown below to a battery. The potential drop across the p-n junctions are equal in [image:14_image29.emf]

Question

Dr. Abubacker · Accepted Answer

(a) In circuit 2, each p-n junction is reverse biased, some current will flow giving equal potential difference across each p-n junction diode. In circuit 3, each p-n junction is forward biased, hence same current flows, giving same potential difference across p-n junctions.
