If the $p-n$ junction diode is unbiased,

  • A
    $n$-type side has lower potential than $p$-type side.
  • B
    $n$-type side has same potential as $p$-type side.
  • C
    An electric field is established at the junction such that $n$-side is at positive voltage relative to $p$-side.
  • D
    The potential across the junction is such that $p$-side is at positive voltage relative to $n$-side.

Write a short note on a semiconductor diode.

$A$ $p-n$ junction diode is reverse biased with a voltage of $8 \, V$. If the resistance of the diode is $4 \times 10^7 \, \Omega$, then the reverse saturation current is: (in $ \, \mu A$)

For the forward biased diode characteristics shown in the figure,the dynamic resistance at $I_{D} = 3 \, \text{mA}$ will be $..... \, \Omega$.

If a $p-n$ junction diode is in forward bias,then:

For the diagram shown,the resistance between points $A$ and $B$ when the ideal diode '$D$' is forward biased is '$R_1$' and that when reverse biased is '$R_2$'. The ratio $\frac{R_1}{R_2}$ is
