NEET Physics (general) Assertion Reason Question
Type: Assertion Reason-assertion-Easy-Class 12
Assertion (A): When a diode is under reverse bias, the current is essentially voltage independent up to a critical reverse bias voltage. | Reason (R): The breakdown voltage is the point where the reverse current in a diode increases sharply.
A
Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.
B
Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A.
C
A is true but R is false.
D
A is false.
Correct Answer
Option A
Detailed Explanation
The NCERT context explains that in reverse bias, diode current remains voltage independent until breakdown voltage, where the current increases sharply, thus R explains A.
