NEET 2026 Physics p-n Junction Diode Assertion Reason Question
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.
B. This current is called reverse saturation current.
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
Both Statements A and B are true
Statement A is true, but Statement B is false
Both Statements A and B are false
Statement A is false, but Statement B is true
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
In a forward-biased p-n junction diode, the current increases significantly beyond the threshold voltage. However, reverse saturation current refers to the small current that flows in the reverse bias condition, not in forward bias.
