Assertion : Two p-n junction diodes placed back to back, will work as a n-p-n transistor.
Reason: The p-region of two p-n junction diodes back to back will form the base of n-p-n transistor.

A

If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion.

B

If both assertion and reason are true not but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion.

C

If assertion is true but reason is false

D

If both assertion and reason are false.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D

Two p-n junctions placed back to back cannot work as n-p-n transistor because in transistor the concentration of doping of p-type semiconductor is less as compared to doping of n-type semiconductor.
