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.

  1. A (A) and (D) only
  2. B (A), (C) and (D) only
  3. C (A) and (C) only
  4. D (C) and (D) only
Verified Solution

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…
