Consider the following statements A and ...

Consider the following statements `A` and `B` and identify the correct answer
(A) A Zener diode is always connected in reverse bias to use it as voltage regulator.
(B) The potential barrier of a `p-n` junction lies between `0.1` to `0.3 V`, approximately.

A

A and B are correct.

B

A and B are wrong.

C

A is correct, but B is wrong.

D

A is wrong, but B is correct.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
A Zener diode is always connected in reverse bias when it is used. The potential barrier of germanium p - n junction is 0.3 V and of Si p - n junction is 0.7 V. So statement A is correct but B is wrong.
