Statement-1 : The direction of diffusion current in a junction diode is from n-region to p-region. Statement-2 : The majority current carrier diffuse from a region of higher concentration to a region of lower concentration.

Statement-1 is true, Statement-2 is true, Statement-2 is a correct explanation of Statement-1.

decreases with temperature.

increase with temperature.

is due to majority carrier.

depends on the biasing voltage.

The current in the reverse biased condition is generally very small

The current in the reverse biased condition is small but the forwards biased current is independent of the biase voltage

The reverse biased current is srongly dependent on the applied biase voltage.

The forward biased current is very small in comparision to reverse biased current.
