    the positive terminal of the battery is connected to $p-$side and the depletion region becomes thick.
  • B
    the positive terminal of the battery is connected to $n-$side and the depletion region becomes thick.
  • C
    the positive terminal of the battery is connected to $n-$side and the depletion region becomes thin.
  • D

Current $I$ through a given $p-n$ junction when a voltage $V$ is applied across it is given by $I = I_0 \left( e^{\frac{V}{2 V_T}} - 1 \right)$, where $I_0$ and $V_T$ are constants. If $r_d(I)$ is the dynamic resistance of the junction, then $r_d(1000 I_0) = \alpha r_d(10 I_0)$, where $\alpha$ is approximately equal to

In the circuit, all three diodes $D_1, D_2, D_3$ have a forward resistance of $50 \text{ } \Omega$ each and infinite backward resistance. If the battery voltage is $5 \text{ V}$, find the current through the $100 \text{ } \Omega$ resistance. (in $\text{mA}$)

Two $PN$-junctions can be connected in series by three different methods as shown in the figure. If the potential difference across the junctions is the same,then the correct connections will be:

$A$ $2V$ battery is connected across the points $A$ and $B$ as shown in the figure. Assuming that the resistance of each diode is zero in forward bias and infinity in reverse bias,the current supplied by the battery when its positive terminal is connected to $A$ is........$A$
