Application of a forward bias to a p-n junction

a
increases the number of donors on the n-side
b
increases the electric field in the depletion zone
c
increases the potential difference across the depletion zone
d
widens the depletion zone

detailed solution

Correct option is A

When p-side of junctiondiode is connected to positive of battery and n-side to the negative,then junction diode is forward biased.In this condition, more number of electrons enter in n-side from battery, thereby increasing the number of donor on n-side.
