MCQ

In a $P N$-junction diode

✓
The current in the reverse biased condition is generally very small
B
The current in the reverse biased condition is small but the forward biased current is independent of the bias voltage
C
The reverse biased current is strongly dependent on the applied bias voltage
D
The forward biased current is very small in comparison to reverse biased current

✓

Answer

Correct option: A.

The current in the reverse biased condition is generally very small

In forward biased $P N$-junction, external voltage decreases the potential barrier, so current is maximum. While in reversed biased $P N$-junction, external voltage increases the potential barrier, so the current is very small.
