28 A PN junction is said to be forward biased when
A Positive terminal of the battery is connected to P-side and the negative side to the N-side
B Junction is earthed
C N-side is connected directly to the p-side
D Positive terminal of the battery is connected to N-side and the negative side to the P-side

Answer: Positive terminal of the battery is connected to P-side and the negative side to the N-side
29 In a PN junction when the applied voltage overcomes the ........ potential, the diode current is large, which is known as .............
A Barrier, forward bias
B Resistance, reverse bias
C Depletion, negative bias
D Reverse, reverse bias

Answer: Barrier, forward bias
30 When a PN junction is reverse-biased

B The barrier tends to break down
C Holes and electrons tend to move away from the junction
D None of the above

Answer: Holes and electrons tend to move away from the junction
31 When PN junction is in forward bias, by increasing the battery voltage
A Current through P-N junction increases
B Current through P-N junction decreases
C Circuit resistance increases
D None of the above happens

Answer: Current through P-N junction increases
32 In an unbiased PN junction
A The junction current is due to minority carriers only
B The junction current at equilibrium is zero as equal but opposite carriers are crossing the junction
C The junction current reduces with rise in temperature
D The junction current at equilibrium is zero as charges do not cross the junction

Answer: The junction current at equilibrium is zero as equal but opposite carriers are crossing the junction
33 In a PN junction with no external voltage, the electric field between acceptor and donor ions is called a
A Barrier
