Assertion (A): The reverse saturation current in a semiconductor diode is 4nA at 20°C and 32 nA at 50°C.
Reason (R): The reverse saturation current in a semiconductor diode doubles for every 10°C rise in temperature.
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
At 20°C, 4 nA, at 30°C, 8 nA, at 40°C, 16 nA, at 50°C, 32 nA.
