Two statements are given below:
A
When the forward bias voltage across a p-n junction diode increases above a certain threshold voltage, the diode current increases significantly.
Both Statements A and B are true
Both Statements A and B are true
B
This current is called reverse saturation current. Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
Both Statements
and 
are false
Both Statements
and are false C
Statement A is true, but Statement B is false
D
Statement A is false, but Statement B is true
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
C
Statement A: True
In forward biased, after threshold voltage current significantly increase
Statement B: False
Reverse saturation current is found in reverse biased not in forward biased.
