Which outcome occurs when applying reverse bias to a semiconductor?

💡 Explanation

An increased depletion region width on either side of the p-n junction happens because the reverse bias attracts more majority carriers away from the junction via Drift. Therefore, region width increases rather than others; forward bias decreases the region's width.
