The Correct Option is B

Solution and Explanation

Dynamic resistance
\(=\)\(\frac{dV}{dl}\)
\(⇒\) \(r_1 = \frac{2.1 - 2 \, \text{k}\Omega}{10^{-5}}\)
and \(r_2 = \frac{4.2 - 4 \, \text{k}\Omega}{250 - 200}\)
\(⇒ \)\(r1 :r2 = 5 : 1.\)
So,Correct option is (B)

P-n Junction

A P-N junction is an interface or a boundary between two semiconductor material types, namely the p-type and the n-type, inside a semiconductor.

Biasing conditions for the p-n Junction Diode:

in p-n junction diode two operating regions are there:

  • P-type
  • N-type

There are three biasing conditions for p-n junction diode are as follows:

  • Zero bias: When there is no external voltage applied to the p-n junction diode.
  • Forward bias: P-type is connected to positive terminal of the voltage potential while n-type is connected to the negative terminal.
  • Reverse bias: P-type is connected to negative terminal of the voltage potential while n-type is connected to the positive terminal.
