MCQ
Different voltages are applied across a $P-N$ junction and the currents are measured for each value. Which of the following graphs is obtained between voltage and current
- A
- B
- ✓
- D
✓
Answer
Correct option: C.
c
(c)$PN$ junction has low resistance in one direction of potential difference $+V$, so a large current flows (forward biasing). It has a high resistance in the opposite potential difference direction $-V$, so a very small current flows (Reverse biasing).
