In a p-n junction diode change in temperature due to heating

A

does not affect resistance of p-n junction

B

affects only forward resistance

C

affects only reverse resistance

D

affects the overall V-I characteristic of p-n junction

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
The number density of electrons and holes of a p-n junction diode increases due to heating. So the characteristics graph of p-n junction diode will change totally.
