Two statements are given below :
A. When the forward bias voltage across a p-n junction diode increases above a certain threshold voltage, the diode current increases significantly.
B. This current is called reverse saturation current.
Choose the correct answer from the options given below :
- A
Both Statements A and B are true
- B
Both Statements A and B are false
- C
Statement A is true, but Statement B is false
- D
Statement A is false, but Statement B is true
Statement A is true: above the threshold voltage in forward bias, the diode current rises sharply.
Statement B is false: reverse saturation current refers to the small current that flows in reverse bias, not the forward-bias current above threshold.
