Two statements are given below: I. When the forward bias voltage across a p-n junction diode increases above a certain threshold voltage, the diode current increases significantly. II. This current is called reverse saturation current. Choose the CORRECT answer from the options given below:
A
Both Statements I and II are false
B
Statement I is true, but Statement II is false
C
Both Statements I and II are true
D
Statement I is false, but Statement II is true
Detailed Solution
Statement I is true: in forward bias, after the threshold (knee) voltage, the current increases significantly.
Statement II is false: reverse saturation current is found in reverse bias, not in forward bias.
So Statement I is true, but Statement II is false.
