In a semiconductor diode p-side is earthed and N-side is applied a potential of -2V, the diode shall

A

conduct

B

not conduct

C

conduct partially

D

break down

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
Potenial on p-side `V_(p) = 0`
Potential on n - side `V_(n) = - 2`
As `" "V_(p)gt V_(n)`
i.e., diode is in forwards bias, so it will condut .
