Which of the following statements are correct?
(A) In reverse bias of a p-n junction, negative terminal of the battery is connected to p-side of the junction,
(B) Reverse bias does not support the potential barrier at the junction.
(C) In reverse bias, a few minority charge carriers cross the junction.
(D) Resistance of p-n junction is high in reverse bias, reducing the current to a negligible value.
Choose the correct answer from the given options.
- A (A) and (D) only
- B (A), (C) and (D) only

- D (C) and (D) only
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(B) (A), (C) and (D) only
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
(A) Correct: In reverse bias, the p-side (anode) of the junction is connected to the negative terminal of the battery, and the n-side (cathode) is connected to the positive terminal. (C) Correct: While majority carriers are blocked, a very small current (reverse saturation…

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:CUET 2023 Medium - Question based on the following passage :
P-Block elements are placed in group 13 to 18 in the periodic table. Group 15 is nitrogen family.
Nitrogen can react with hydrogen, oxygen, halogens etc. It shows multiple oxidation states in its various oxides i.e. \(N_2O, N_2O_3, N_2O_5\) etc. Important allotropic forms of phosphorus are white, red and black phosporus. Various compounds of phosphorus are phosphine, \(PCl_3, PCl_5\) and oxoacids of phosphorus. Oxidation states \(+1\) to \(+5\) are seen in various oxoacids of phosphorus. Group 17 elements are collectively known as halogens. Bond dissociation enthalpy of \(F_2\) is smaller than \(Cl_2\).
The gases present in group 18 are chemically unreactive, they form only few compounds. Neil Bartlett (in 1962) observed the reaction of a noble gas. Since then, many noble gas compounds have been synthesised.
