Given below are two statements : one is labelled as
Assertion A and the other is labelled as Reason R
Assertion A : Photodiodes are preferably operated in reverse bias condition for light intensity measurement.
Reason R : The current in the forward bias is more than the current in the reverse bias for a p-n junction diode.
In the light of the above statement, choose the correct answer from the options given below :
Select the correct option:
A
A is false but R is true
B
Both A and R are true but R is NOT the correct explanation of A
C
A is true but R is false
D
Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A
✓ Correct! Well done.
✗ Incorrect. Try again or view the solution.
Solution
Photodiodes are operated in reverse bias as fractional change in current due to light is more easy to detect in reverse bias.
