Assertion (A): A p-n junction has high resistance in reverse direction.
Reason (R): When a reverse bias is applied to p-n junction, the width of depletion layer increases.
A.
Both A and R are true and R is correct explanation of A
B.
Both A and R are true but R is not a correct explanation of A
C.
A is true but R is false
D.
A is false but R is true
Correct answer is A
The increase in reverse resistance is due to widening of depletion layer.
