Question
Two statements are given-one labelled Assertion (A) and the other labelled Reason (R). Select the correct answer to these questions from thecodes(a), (b), (c) and (d) as given below.
  1. Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.
  2. Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A.
  3. A is true but R is false.
  4. A is false and R is also false.
Assertion: The dominant mechanism for motion of charge carriers in forward and reverse biase silicon p-n junction are drift in both forward and reverse bias.
Reason: In reverse biased, no current flow through the junction.

Answer

  1. A is false and R is also false.
Explanation:
In p-n junction, the diffusion of majority carriers takes place when junction is forward biased and drifting of minority carriers takes place across the junction, when reverse biased. The reverse bias opposes the majority carriers but makes the minority carriers to cross the p-n junction. Thus the small current in $\mu_\text{A}$ flows during reverse bias.
