The width of the depletion region in a p-n junction diode is

• increased by reverse bias

• increased by forward bias

• decreased by reverse bias

• independent of the bias voltage

When the transistor is used as an amplifier

• Emitter-base junction must be reverse biased, Collector-base junction must be forward

• Emitter-base junction must be forward biased, Collector-base Junction must be forward biased

• Emitter-base junction must be reverse biased, Collector-base junction must be reverse biased

• Emitter-base junction must be forward biased, Collector-base junction must be reverse biased
