  2. B Circuit (i) reverse bias circuit (ii) forward bias
  3. C Circuit (i) forward bias circuit (ii) forward bias
  4. D Circuit (i) reverse bias circuit (ii) reverse bias
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) Circuit (i) reverse bias circuit (ii) forward bias

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Circuit (i) is Reverse Bias: The p-side is connected to the negative terminal, and the \(n\)-side to the positive terminal; the use of a microammeter \((\mu A )\) confirms the detection of a very small leakage current. Circuit (ii) is Forward Bias: The p-side is connected to the…
