Suppose however that
the e.m.f. is
applied
the
other
way
round,
as
in
Fig. 9.12, and is
increased gradually from zero.
The
polarity
of
this forward bias,
as it is
called,
is now
such
as to
repel electrons
and
holes towards
the
junction,
and the
first effect
is to
neutralise some
of
the
fixed charges there
and
reduce
the
potential barrier. This
movement constitutes only
a
small temporary 'capacitive' current.
But when
the
applied
e.m.f. is
sufficient
to
exceed
the
initial barrier
p.d.
the
carriers
are
able
to
flow across
the
junction. Because
of
recombinations when
the
electrons
and
holes meet,
the
flow
of
holes
to
the
right begins
to di ...
