Which of the following statement is correct regarding a p-n junction diode.

  1. A During reverse bias, the width of the depletion region decreases.
  2. B During forward bias, the barrier height increases due to applied voltage.
  3. C The diode current during reverse bias is not much dependent on the applied voltage upto the breakdown voltage.
  4. D A milliammeter is used to measure current in a reverse biased diode.
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) The diode current during reverse bias is not much dependent on the applied voltage upto the breakdown voltage.

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The diode current during reverse bias is not much dependent on the applied voltage upto the breakdown voltage. This is correct. In reverse bias, the current is very small (leakage current) up to the breakdown voltage. The current remains nearly constant until the reverse bias…
