Question

State whether given statement is True or FalseI
n p-n junction diode, the current in the reverse biased junction is generally very small.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A True

Reverse biasing means, we connect the positive terminal of the battery to $n$ side of the diode and the negative terminal of the battery to $p$ side of the diode.

Here the diode does not conduct with the change in applied voltage. The current remains constant at a negligibly small value for a long range of applied voltage.

So the current will be generally very small in the reverse biased condition.

Therefore the given statement is TRUE.
