Question

In a p-n junction diode, the reverse saturation current doubles for every rise in temperature of:

• A. \(5^\circ\text{C}\)
• B. \(10^\circ\text{C}\)
• C. \(15^\circ\text{C}\)
• D. \(20^\circ\text{C}\)

Hint:

Reverse current in diodes is highly temperature dependent.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

For semiconductor diodes, reverse saturation current approximately doubles for every \(10^\circ\text{C}\) rise in temperature.
