Statement-I: A junction with reverse bias can be used as a photo-diode to measure light intensity.
Statement-II: In a reverse bias condition the current is small but it is more sensitive to change in incident light intensity.
Statement-II: In a reverse bias condition the current is small but it is more sensitive to change in incident light intensity.
View answer and explanation
Correct option: A
If both statements are correct.
Option A (If both statements are correct) is correct because a reverse-biased p-n junction is sensitive to changes in light intensity and can be used as a photodiode.
