Question

Given below are two statements : one is labelled as Assertion $A$ and the other is labelled as Reason $R$

Assertion $A :$ Photodiodes are preferably operated in reverse bias condition for light intensity measurement.

Reason $R$ : The current in the forward bias is more than the current in the reverse bias for a $p - n$ junction diode.

In the light of the above statement, choose the correct answer from the options given below :

✓

Answer

Photodiodes are operated in reverse bias as fractional change in current due to light is more easy to detect in reverse bias.
