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 (\(\mu A\)), is due to majority charge carriers.

I-V axes with quadrants I-IV

1. Both A and B are incorrect.

2. A is correct but B is incorrect.

3. A is incorrect but B is correct.

4. Both A and B are correct.

Best answer

Answer: 2. A is correct but B is incorrect.

Key idea: Check each statement separately.

A: A solar cell works as a generator, so its I-V curve lies in the fourth quadrant (positive voltage, negative current). Correct.
B: In reverse bias the small microampere current is due to minority carriers drifting across the junction, not majority carriers. Incorrect.

A is correct and B is incorrect: option 2.
