MCQ

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

Assertion $A:$ Diffusion current in a $p-n$ junction is greater than the drift current in magnitude if the junction is forward biased.

Reason $R:$ Diffusion current in a $p-n$ junction is from the $n$-side to the $p$-side if the junction is forward biased.

In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below

A
Both $A$ and $R$ are correct and $R$ is the correct explanation of $A$
B
Both $A$ and $R$ are correct but $R$ is NOT the correct explanation of $A$
✓
$A$ is correct but $R$ is not correct
D
$A$ is not correct but $R$ is correct

✓

Answer

Correct option: C.

$A$ is correct but $R$ is not correct

c
In forward biased condition, diffusion of majority charge carriers takes place from $p$-side to $n$-side which constitute the diffusion current.

An $\alpha$-particle (mass $4 amu$ ) and a singly charged sulfur ion (mass $32 amu$ ) are initially at rest. They are accelerated through a potential $V$ and then allowed to pass into a region of uniform magnetic field which is normal to the velocities of the particles. Within this region, the $\alpha$-particle and the sulfur ion move in circular orbits of radii $r_\alpha$ and $r_5$, respectively. The ratio $\left(r_s / r_\alpha\right)$ is. . . . .$(4)$
