Assertion : The value of current through `P - n` junction in the given figure will be `10 mA`.
Reason : In the above figure, p-side is at higher potential than n-side.

Options

A. If both assertion and reason are ture and reason is the correct explanation of asseriton.
B. If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of asseriton.
C. If assertion is true but reason is false
D. If both assertion and reason are false.

Answer

B

Explanation

(b) The p-side of `p-n` junction is taken at higher potential then n-side so, `p - n` junction is forward biased. Taking ists resistance to be zero and applying Ohm's law.
`I = (V)/(R ) = (5 - 2)/(300) = 10^(-2) A = 10^(-2) xx 10^(3) mA = 10 mA`
