In forward biasing of the p-n junction, the
positive terminal of the battery is connected
to p-side and the negative terminal of the
battery is connected to n-side. The depletion
region becomes thin.

-n junction, the positive terminal of the battery is connected to the p-type material and the negative terminal is connected to the n-type material. This results in the depletion region becoming narrower and the potential barrier reducing, allowing current to flow through the junction. The amount of current that flows through the junction is dependent on the amount of forward bias voltage applied.
The forward biasing of the p-n junction is commonly used in electronic devices such as diodes, transistors, and solar cells. In a diode, forward biasing allows current to flow through the device, while reverse biasing blocks the flow of current. In a transistor, forward biasing of the base-emitter junction allows current to flow through the transistor, amplifying the signal. In a solar cell, forward biasing allows the cell to generate electrical energy from sunlight.
