In a p-n diode, with the increase reverse bias, the reverse current

  • A. increases
  • B. decreases
  • C. remain constant
  • D. uncertain

Answer: C. remain constant

Explanation: In an ideal p-n diode, with the increase in reverse bias voltage (below the breakdown region), the reverse saturation current depends primarily on temperature and remains practically constant.
