Special Purpose Diodes

Consider the following statements A and B and identify the correct answer:

A. For a solar-cell, the I-V characteristics lies in the IV quadrant of the given graph. B. In a reverse biased $pn$ junction diode, the current measured in $(\mu\text{A})$ , is due to majority charge carriers.

Show answer and solution

Answer: (a)

A: a solar cell gives power, so $V > 0$ while current flows opposite to forward current ( $I < 0$ ). Its curve lies in quadrant IV. A is correct.
B: the small reverse current ( $\mu$ A) is due to minority carriers, not majority carriers. B is incorrect.
So the answer is (a) A is correct but B is incorrect.
