Two statements are given below : Choose the correct answer from the options given below :
- Both Statements A and B are true
- Both Statements A and B are false
- Statement A is true, but Statement B is false
- Statement A is false, but Statement B is true
Answer
(3) Statement A is true, but Statement B is false
Solution
A: In forward bias, beyond the threshold (cut-in) voltage the diode current increases significantly (exponentially) ⇒ A is true.
B: As per NCERT, the reverse saturation current is the small current (in μA) that flows under reverse bias and is almost independent of the bias voltage.
the large forward current is not the reverse saturation current ⇒ B is false.
Answer: (3)
