Assertion (A): Diffusion current in a p-n junction is greater than the drift current in magnitude if the junction is forward biased.
Reason (R): Diffusion current in a p-n junction is from the n-side to the p-side if the junction is forward biased.
- Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.
- Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A.
- A is true but R is false.
- A is false but R is true.
Answer
(C) A is true but R is false.
