← ScienceWhich outcome occurs when reverse bias widens depletion zone?
A)Decreased conductivity of semiconductor material✓
B)Increased forward current flow initially
C)Enhanced electron-hole recombination rates
D)Reduced device capacitance marginally
💡 Explanation
Increased reverse bias causes widening of a depletion zone, leading to reduced charge carrier concentration; therefore, the conductivity decreases because a wider gap hinders carrier movement, rather than enhancing current.
