NEET 2018, Physics Q20: Semiconductors, p-n Junction Diode and Applications

NEET2018Paper 2018Physics
Q.

In a p-n junction diode, change in temperature due to heating

  1. A

    Affects only reverse resistance

  2. B

    Does not affect resistance of p-n junction

  3. C

    Affects only forward resistance

  4. D

    Affects the overall V - I characteristics of p-n junction

Solution

Due to heating, number of electron-hole pairs will increase, so overall resistance of diode will change.

Due to which forward biasing and reversed biasing both are changed.
