NEET Physics (general) Assertion Reason Question

Type: Assertion Reason-assertion-Hard-Class 12

Assertion (A): In a forward-biased p-n junction, current initially increases very slowly until a certain voltage is reached. | Reason (R): In reverse bias, the current remains constant with change in bias voltage until breakdown.

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 B

Detailed Explanation

A is true because in a forward-biased p-n junction, current increases slowly until the threshold voltage is reached. R is true because in reverse bias, current remains almost constant until breakdown, but it does not explain A.
