The following question based on electric current and magnetism topic of general science mcq

Questions : In a p-n junction

(a) the p side is at higher electrical potential than n side

(b) the n side is at higher electric potential than p side

(c) the potential of p & n sides becomes higher alternately

(d) both p & n sides are at same potential

The correct answers to the above question in:

Answer: (a)

Hint : For easy flow of current the p-side must be connected to +ive terminal of battery

i.e., it is connected to higher potential in comparison to n. This connection is called forward biased. In this case the input resistance is very low.

In reverse-biased, the p-side is connected to –ive terminal & n-side to (+ive) terminal to battery. In this case input resistance is very high.
