Given below are two statements: Statement \(I\) : Photovoltaic devices can convert optical radiation into electricity. Statement \(II\) : Zener diode is designed to operate under reverse bias in breakdown region. In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below
- A Statement \(I\) is incorrect but Statement \(II\) is correct.
- B Both Statement \(I\) and Statement \(II\) are correct
- C Both Statement \(I\) and Statement \(II\) are incorrect.
- D Statement \(I\) is correct but Statement \(II\) is incorrect.
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(B) Both Statement \(I\) and Statement \(II\) are correct
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Statement \(I\) : Photocell/solar cell convert light energy into electric energy/current. Statement \(II\) : We use zener diode in reverse biased condition, when reverse biased voltage more than break down voltage than it act as stablizer.
