Question
Given below are two statements:

Statement $I$ : Photovoltaic devices can convert optical radiation into electricity.

Statement $II$ : Zener diode is designed to operate under reverse bias in breakdown region.

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

Answer

Statement $I$ : Photocell/solar cell convert light energy into electric energy/current.

Statement $II$ : We use zener diode in reverse biased condition, when reverse biased voltage more than break down voltage than it act as stablizer.
