In a 
junction diode, change in temperature due to heating [NEET 2018]
A
does not affect resistance of 
junction
junction
B
affects only forward resistance
C
affects only reverse resistance
D
affects the overall 
characteristics of 
junction
characteristics of junction
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
D
Due to increase in temperature because of heating, thermal collision between the electron and holes increases. Thus, net electron-hole pairs increase. This leads to increase in the current in diode and overall resistance of the diode changes.
This in turn changes both the forward biasing and the reverse biasing.
Thus, the overall 
characteristics of 
junction diode gets affected.
