NEET Solved Paper 2018 Question 16

Question: In a p-n junction diode, change in temperature due to heating [NEET - 2018]

Options:

A) Does not affect resistance of p-n junction

B) Affects only forward resistance

C) Affects only reverse resistance

D) Affects the overall $ \text{V - l} $ characteristics of p-n junction

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: D

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.
