Options:
  • A 1 and 3 both correspond to forward bias of junction
  • B
    3 corresponds to forward bias of junction and 1 corresponds to reverse bias of junctions
  • C
    1 corresponds to forward bias and 3 corresponds to reverse bias of junction
  • D
    3 and 1 both correspond to reverse bias of junction

The correct answer is:
3 corresponds to forward bias of junction and 1 corresponds to reverse bias of junctions
When p-n junction is forward biased then the depleton layer is compresses or decrease so it opposes the potential junction resulting decrease in potential barrier junction when p-n junction is reverese biased, it supports the potential barrier junction, resulting increase in potential across the junction.
