NEET UG PHYSICS MCQ: SEMI CONDUCTOR DEVICES

Given below are two statements : one is labelled as Assertion A and the other is labelled as Reason R

Assertion A: Photodiodes are used in forward bias usually for measuring the light intensity.

Reason R: For a p-n junction diode, at applied voltage $V$ the current in the forward bias is more than the current in the reverse bias for $\left|V_{z}\right|> \pm V \geq$ $\left|V_{0}\right|$ where $V_{0}$ is the threshold voltage and $V_{z}$ is the breakdown voltage.

In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below
