Question

Assertion (A): In a semiconductor diode the thickness of depletion layer is not fixed.

Reason (R): Thickness of depletion layer in a semiconductor device depends upon many factors such as biasing of the semiconductor.

पर्याय

• If both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true and Reason (R) is the correct explanation of Assertion (A).

• If both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true but Reason (R) is not the correct explanation of Assertion (A).

• If Assertion (A) is true but Reason (R) is false.

• If both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are false.

Answer 1

If both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true and Reason (R) is the correct explanation of Assertion (A).

Explanation:

The thickness of the depletion layer in a semiconductor diode varies according to external conditions, such as applied voltage. This thickness is influenced by several factors, including the type of semiconductor material, doping levels, and, crucially, the biasing applied to the diode.
