Which outcome results when a diode's reverse bias increases?

💡 Explanation

An increased reverse bias widens the depletion region due to increased electric field strength drawing mobile carriers away from the junction zone - the Charge Depletion mechanism. Therefore, the depletion region widens, rather than forward current increasing, because the junction becomes more insulating.
