Question

In a P-N junction diode, the current in the reverse-biased state is due to

• A. Flow of a minority charge carrier from $p$ -side to $n$ -side
• B. Flow of a majority charge carrier from $n$ -side to $p$ -side
• C. Flow of a majority charge carrier from $p$ -side to $n$ -side
• D. Flow of electrons from $n$ -side to $p$ -side

Answer 1

Answer: (A)

Current in reverse biased diode is due to movement of minority charge carrier.
