Q1:

Assertion (A): When Diode used as rectifier the reverse breakdown voltage should not be exceeded. Reason (R): A high inverse voltage can destroy a p-n junction.

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

PIV is an important parameter in rectifier operation.
