I - V characteristics of photodiode for different illumination intensities \(\mathrm{I}_1, \mathrm{I}_2, \mathrm{I}_3\) and \(\mathrm{I}_4\) are drawn as follows. Then the maximum intensity among them is
image

  1. A \(\mathrm{I}_1\)
  2. B \(\mathrm{I}_2\)
  3. C \(\mathrm{I}_3\)
  4. D \(\mathrm{I}_4\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(\mathrm{I}_4\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Larger illumination intensity corresponds to a greater magnitude of reverse current. From the graph, curve \( \mathrm{I}_4 \) shows the largest magnitude of reverse current.
