MCQ
In a $p-n$ junction diode, change in temperature due to heating
  • A
    affects only reverse resistance
  • B
    affects only forward resistance
  • affects the overall $V - I$ characteristics of  $p-n$ junction
  • D
    does not affect resistance of $p-n$ junction

Answer

Correct option: C.
affects the overall $V - I$ characteristics of  $p-n$ junction
c
Due to heating, number of electron-hole pairs will increase, so overall resistance of diode will change. 
Due to which forward biasing and reversed biasing both are changed.
