A p-n junction diode cannot be used
- A as a rectifier.
- B for converting light energy to electrical energy.
- C for getting light radiation.
- D for increasing the amplitude of an a.c. signal.
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(D) for increasing the amplitude of an a.c. signal.
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
A p-n junction diode cannot be used for increasing the amplitude of an AC signal. A p-n junction can be used as a rectifier because of its asymmetric current/voltage oroperties that enable current to flow in only one way and it converts light energy to electric energy as well as getting light radiation.
