Assertion : The value of current through...

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.

A

if both the Assertion and Reason are true and the Reason is the correct explanation of Assertion.

B

if both the Assertion and Reason are true but the reason in not a correct explanation of the Assertion.

C

if the Assertion is true but the Reason is false.

D

if both Assertion and Reason are false.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
Since p-n junction is forward biased, its resistance can be taken to be zero. Thus
`I=V/R=(5V-2V)/(300Omega)=10 mA`
So both Assertion and Reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion.
