For the given circuit of p-n junction diode which is correct?

A

in forward bias the voltage across R is V

B

in reverse bias the voltage across R is V

C

in forward bias the voltage across R is 2V

D

in reverse bias the voltage across R is 2V.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
In forward biasing, the resistance of p-n junction diode is very low to the flow of current. So practically all the voltage will be dropped across the resistance R, i.e. voltage across R will be V.
In reverse biasing, the resistance of p-n junction diode is very high. So the voltage drop across R is zero.
