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.

A

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

B

Statement-1 is true, Statement-2 is true, Statement-2 is not a correct explanation of Statement-1.

C

Statement-1 is true, Statement-2 is false.

D

Statement-1 is false, Statement-2 is true.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
The direction of diffusion current is that where positively charged particles move. Hence statement-1 is wrong. Statement-2 is true.
