NEET 2018 Physics p-n Junction MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-conceptual-Medium-Class 12

In a p-n junction diode, change in temperature due to heating

A

affects only reverse resistance.

B

affects only forward resistance.

C

does not affect resistance of p-n junction.

D

affects the overall V⁻I characteristics of p-n junction.

Correct Answer

Option D

Detailed Explanation

Temperature changes affect the carrier concentration in a semiconductor, which in turn affects both forward and reverse resistances, altering the V⁻I characteristics.
