Solution
On the other hand, the emitter region in a transistor is heavily doped because the emitter supplies the majority carriers for the current flow.

Sanya performed an experiment of obtaining characteristic curves of a junction diode. When she forward biased it, she found that beyond forward voltage V = Vk, the conductivity is very high. When she reverse biased the diode she found that a very small current (of about a few microamperes) flows in the diode. It remained constant even though she varied the voltage.
