Q1:

Assertion (A): When a high reverse voltage is applied to a p-n junction the diode breaks down. Reason (R): High reverse voltage causes Avalanche effect.

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

Avalanche breakdown occurs at high reverse voltage.
