MCQ
In a semiconductor diode, $P$-side is earthed and $N$-side is put at potential of $-2\,V$, the diode shall
  • Conduct
  • B
    Not conduct
  • C
    Conduct partially
  • D
    Break down

Answer

Correct option: A.
Conduct
a
(a)

$P$ side is put at higher potential than $N$ side hence the diode will conduct.
