NEET Physics (general) Assertion Reason Question
Type: Assertion Reason-assertion-Hard-Class 12
Assertion (A): A diode in a rectifier circuit conducts current only during the forward-biased half-cycles of an AC input. | Reason (R): The V-I characteristic of a junction diode shows that it allows current to pass when forward biased.
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 a diode conducts during the forward-biased half-cycles, and the V-I characteristic supports this behavior by showing current flow when forward biased.
