Topic: Electronic Devices and Circuits

Photodiodes operate at

  • A. Forward bias
  • B. Breakdown region
  • C. Reverse bias
  • D. Saturation region

Answer: C. Reverse bias

Explanation: Photodiodes are typically operated in the reverse bias region because the reverse saturation current is directly proportional to the incident light intensity, allowing for effective light detection.
