Question

In a pn junction diode under reverse bias, the magnitude of electric field is a maximum at
1. The edge of the depletion region on the p-side
2. The edge of the depletion region on the n-side
3. The pn junction
4. can’t say

Answer 1

Correct Answer - Option 3 : The pn junction

In a pn junction diode under reverse bias, the magnitude of electric field is a maximum at the pn junction. As the reverse bias voltage increases then electric field increases
