Solution

The correct option is A True
Reverse saturation current in p-n junction diode will be just double in magnitude for every 10oC rise in temperature.
This is true because of the more energy gained by the minority carriers from what is called thermal voltage (Vt) by the heat energy dissipated at the junction .
Higher heat=>> High voltage =>> More minority carriers =>> Higher reverse saturation current.
