Question

Three identical p-n junction diodes $D_{1},D_{2}$, and $D_{3}$ are connected across a battery as shown in the figure. If the width of the depletion regions of $D_{1},D_{2}$ and $D_{3}$ are $W_{1},W_{2}$ and $W_{3}$, respectively, then the correct option is:

Accepted Answer

Sol. [Key Concept: Ideal-diode network — current flow]$D_{1}$ is forward biasedDepletion region of forward bias ( $W_{1}$ ) will be minimum$D_{3}$ is reverse biasedDepletion region of reverse bias $\left( W_{3} \right)$ will be maximum$D_{2}$ is unbiasedDepletion region $\left( W_{2} \right)$ will be between $\left( W_{1} \right)$ and $\left( W_{3} \right)$Correct relation will be given as$$W_{3} > W_{2} > W_{1}$$
