    Direction for: In each of the following questions a statement of Assertion is given followed by a corresponding statement of Reason just below it. Of the statements mark the correct answer as

    Assertion: The value of current through p-n junction in the given figure will be 10 mA. Reason: In the above figure, p-side is X higher potential than n-side.

    A)  If both Assertion and Reason are true and the Reason is the correct explanation of the Assertion.

    B)  If both Assertion and Reason are true but the Reason is not the correct explanation of the Assertion.

    C)  If Assertion is true but Reason is false.

    D)  If both Assertion and Reason are false.

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    The p-side of p-n junction is taken at higher potential than n-side so, p-n junction is forward biased. Taking its resistance to be zero and applying Ohms law. \[\frac{q}{2{{\varepsilon }_{0}}}\] \[\frac{\phi }{3}\] \[\frac{q}{{{\varepsilon }_{0}}}-\phi \]
