- Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion A and the other is labelled as Reason R.
Assertion A: Diffusion current in a p-n junction is greater than the drift current in magnitude if the junction is forward biased.
Reason R: Diffusion current in a p-n junction is from the n-side to the p-side if the junction is forward biased.
In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below- JEE Main - 2023

Given below are two statements ; one is labelled as Assertion $A$ and the other is labelled as Reason $R$
Assertion A: Photodiodes are used in forward bias usually for measuring the light intensity
Reason R: For a p-n junction diode at applied voltage $V$ the current in the forward bias is more than the current in the reverse bias for $\left|V_2\right|>\pm V \geq\left|V_0\right|$ where $V_0$ is the threshold voltage and $V _2$ is the breakdown voltage
