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.

Options

A. If both assertion and reason are true and the reason is the correct explanation of the assertion
B. If both assertion and reason are true but the reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion
C. If assertio is true statement but reason is false.
D. If both assertion and reason are false statement

Answer

2

Explanation

The p-side of p-n junction is taken at higher potential than n-side so, p-n junction is forward biased. Taking resistance to be zero and applying Ohm.s law.
`I=(V)/(R)=(5-2)/(300)=10^(-2)A=10^(-2)xx10^(3) mA=10 mA`
