Q1:

Assertion (A): A high junction temperature may destroy a diode. Reason (R): As temperature increases the reverse saturation current increases.

A Both A and R are true and R is correct explanation of A

B Both A and R are true but R is not a correct explanation of A

C A is true but R is false

D A is false but R is true

ANS:A - Both A and R are true and R is correct explanation of A

Both A and R are correct. The diode is destroyed due to high reverse current.
