Question

The battery connection required to forward bias PN junction are
Options
A +ve terminal to P and -ve terminal to N
Correct Answer
B -ve terminal to P and +ve terminal to N
C -ve terminal to P and -ve terminal to N
D none of the above
Correct Answer

Option A is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

For a PN junction to be forward biased, the p-type material (which has holes as majority carriers) must be connected to the positive terminal of the battery, and the n-type material (which has electrons as majority carriers) must be connected to the negative terminal. This reduces the depletion region and allows current to flow.

Hint

Think about how the battery's polarity should align with the majority charge carriers in the P and N regions to enable current flow.
