Consider the following statements A and B. Identify the correct answers:

A: A zener diode is always connected in reverse bias.

B: The potential barrier of a p-n junction lies between 0.1 to 0.3 V, approximately.

A)  A and B correct

B)  A and B are wrong

C)  A is correct but B is wrong

D)  A is wrong but B is correct

Correct Answer: A

Solution :

                 Statement A is correct because we known that the zener diode is always connected in reversed biased as. Statement B is also correct as the potential barrier of p-n juncton lies between 0.1 to 0.3 volt nearly.
