Question
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.
Options
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

Both A and R are true and R is correct explanation of A

Explanation

The increase in reverse resistance is due to widening of depletion layer.
