Question

Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion A and the other is labelled as Reason R
Assertion A: Diffusion current in a p-n junction is greater than the drift current in magnitude if the junction is forward biased.
Reason R: Diffusion current in a p-n junction is from the n-side to the p-side if the junction is forward biased.
In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below

Select the correct option:

Both A and R are correct and R is the correct explanation of A

Both A and R are correct but R is NOT the correct explanation of A

A is correct but R is not correct

A is not correct but R is correct

✓ Correct! Well done.

✗ Incorrect. Try again or view the solution.

Solution

In forward biased condition, diffusion of majority charge carriers takes place from p-side to n-side which constitute the diffusion current.
