Question

Explain the following, giving reasons:

In a diode, the reverse current is practically not dependent on the applied voltage.

Give Reasons

Solution

In a reverse-biased diode, the current is created by minority charge carriers floating past the junction, making it independent of the critical voltage. A small voltage is enough to sweep minority charge carriers.
