A Diode Is Operated in the Reversed-Biased Mode

Multiple Choice

A diode is operated in the reversed-biased mode. An increase in the bias voltage will

A) increase the voltage across the device.
B) decrease the voltage across the device.
C) produce no appreciable change in the voltage across the device because the current is for all practical purposes zero.
D) produce no appreciable change in the voltage across the device.
