For a photoconductor with equal electron and hole mobilities and perfect ohmic contacts at the ends, an increase in intensity of optical illumination results in
Options
A. a change in o.c voltage
B. a change in s.c current
C. decrease in resistance
D. increase in resistance
Correct Answer
decrease in resistance
Explanation
It is the characteristic of a photoconductor that its resistance decreases with increase in illumination.
