Question

The photodiode is used to detect the optiocal signals. These diodes are preferably operated in reverse biased mode because. (A) fractional change in majority carriers produce higher forward bias current (B) fractional change in majority carriers produce higher reverse bias current (C) fractional change in minority carriers produce higher forward bias current (D) fractional change in minority carriers produce higher reverse bias current

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

Very small change in minority charge carriers produces high value of reverse bias current.
