Q4 · Physics

Consider the following statements A and B and identify the correct answer :

[graph: I vs V axes with quadrants (I)-(IV)]

A. For a solar-cell, the I-V characteristics lies in the IV quadrant of the given graph.

B. In a reverse biased pnpn junction diode, the current measured in (μA\mu A), is due to majority charge carriers.

The figure, described in words

I-V axes (I vertical, V horizontal) with quadrants labelled (I) top-right, (II) top-left, (III) bottom-left, (IV) bottom-right.

  1. 1Both A and B are correct.
