In a pnp-BJT, when the E-B junction is forward biased and no voltage is applied across C-B junction, what happens to the width of the depletion region in the E-B junction? Correct Answer Decreases

On application of a forward bias voltage across E-B junction, the width of the depletion region decreases.
