Question

Consider the following statements A and B and identify the correct answer:

1. For a solar-cell, the I-V characteristics lies in the IV quadrant of the given graph.
2. In a reverse biased pn junction diode, the current measured in (A), is due to majority charge carriers.

Options

• A is correct but B is incorrect.

• A is incorrect but B is correct.

• Both A and B are correct.

• Both A and B are incorrect.

Answer 1

A is incorrect but B is correct.

Explanation:

Let us analyse both statements.

A: Solar cell characteristics:

B: In reverse biased pn junction diode, the current measured in (μA) is due to the minority charge carrier.

Hence, A is incorrect, but B is correct.
