Physics Question from JEE Main 2024 · 6 April, Shift 1

The I-V characteristics of an electronic device shown in the figure. The device is:

The figure shows: a graph of current $I$ (vertical axis) against $V$ in volt (horizontal axis), with the origin where the two axes cross. In forward bias ($V > 0$) the curve rises gradually from the origin into the first quadrant. In reverse bias ($V < 0$) the current holds a small, almost constant negative value as the reverse voltage is increased and then, at one particular reverse voltage, the curve turns sharply and the reverse current grows almost vertically. The negative $I$ axis carries the marking $5 \, (\mu\text{A})$.
