Single Choice

In a $$P-N$$ junction diode if $$P$$ region is heavily doped than $$n$$ region then the depletion layer is

AGreater in $$P$$ region
BGreater in $$N$$ region
Correct Answer
CEqual in both region
DNo depletion layer is formed in this case

Solution

In a P−N junction diode if P region is heavily doped than n region then the depletion layer is more in less doped side.
