In a \(p-n\) junction diode, change in temperature due to heating

  1. A affects only reverse resistance
  2. B affects only forward resistance
  3. C affects the overall \(V - I\) characteristics of  \(p-n\) junction
  4. D does not affect resistance of \(p-n\) junction
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) affects the overall \(V - I\) characteristics of  \(p-n\) junction

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Due to heating, number of electron-hole pairs will increase, so overall resistance of diode will change. 
Due to which forward biasing and reversed biasing both are changed.
