17.
If the reverse voltage across a p-n junction is increased three times, the junction capacitance
will decrease
will increase
will decrease by an approximate factor of about 2
will increase by an approximate factor of about 2
Answer: Option
Explanation:

Increase of reverse voltage widens the depletion layer and junction capacitance decreases. However the decrease in capacitance is not proportional to increase in voltage.

Junction capacitance or Transition capacitance Ct is inversely proportional to (junction voltage) ^1/2.

How it is decreased by 2?

Q=CV.
or
C=Q/V.
therefore voltage increases capacitance decrease.

The applied voltage is inversely proportional to junction capacitance formed in a PN junction diode under reverse bias condition.
