Photodiodes are mostly operated in reverse biased condition because
- A Fractional change in minority carriers produce higher forward current
- B Fractional change in majority carriers produce higher reverse current
- C Fractional change in minority carriers produce higher reverse current
- D Fractional change in majority carriers produce higher forward current
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(A) Fractional change in minority carriers produce higher forward current
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
The fractional change due to incident light on minority charge caries in reverse bias is much more than that over the majority charge carries in forward bias.
