Consider the following statements I and II and
identify the correct answer from the given options.
Statement-I: A zener diode should be connected
in reverse bias for proper functioning.
Statement-II: The potential barrier of a silicon
p-n junction lies between 2 V and 5 V.
Choose the correct answer from the options given
below.

Statement-I: A zener diode should be connected
in reverse bias for proper functioning.
Statement-II: The potential barrier of a silicon
p-n junction lies between 2 V and 5 V.
Choose the correct answer from the options given
below.
View answer and explanation
Correct option: C
Statement-I is true but Statement-II is false
Option C is correct because a Zener diode operates in reverse bias, and the potential barrier of a silicon p-n junction is typically around 0.7V, not between 2V and 5V.
