Which outcome occurs when applying reverse bias voltage across p-n junction?

💡 Explanation

Increasing reverse bias causes depletion region widening because mobile charge carriers get swept away from the junction; this is further enhanced through the charge depletion mechanism around p-n interface; therefore width increases rather than current increase or excess recombination.
