Question
Physics Question on P-N Junction
Consider the following statements A and B and identify the correct answer:
A. For a solar-cell, the I-V characteristics lies in the IV quadrant of the given graph.
B. In a reverse biased pn junction diode, the current measured in (µA), is due to majority charge carriers.
A
A is correct but B is incorrect
B
A is incorrect but B is correct
C
Both A and B are correct
D
Both A and B are incorrect
Answer
A is correct but B is incorrect
Explanation
Solution
For solar cells, the I-V characteristics are in the IV quadrant due to negative current and positive voltage. In a reverse-biased pn diode, current arises from minority carriers.
