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-l characteristics of p-n junction

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
Due to heating, the number of electron-hole pairs will increase, so overall resistance of diode will change. Due to which forward and reverse biasing both are changed. Hence, in a PN junction diode, change in temperature due to heating affects the overall V-l characteristics of PN junction.
