Physics Question from JEE Main 2023 · 6 April, Shift 2

Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion AA and the other is labelled as Reason RR

Assertion AA: Diffusion current in a pp-nn junction is greater than the drift current in magnitude if the junction is forward biased.

Reason RR: Diffusion currents in a pp-nn junction are from the nn-side to the pp-side if the junction is forward biased.

In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:

  • A

    A is not correct but RR is correct

  • B

    Both AA and RR are correct and RR is the correct explanation of AA

  • C

    AA is correct but RR is not correct

  • D

    Both AA and RR are correct but RR is NOT the correct explanation of AA
