The width of depletion region of a varactor diode ________with increase in reverse bias voltage.

The width of depletion region of a varactor diode ________with increase in reverse bias voltage. Correct Answer Increases

The width of the depletion region goes on increasing with increase in reverse bias voltage of the varactor diode. As the width of depletion region is an inverse function for capacitance, as the width increases, capacitance decreases.
