Q1:

Assertion (A): When reverse voltage across a p-n junction is increased, the junction capacitance decreases. Reason (R): Capacitance of any layer is inversely proportional to thickness.

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

Increase in reverse voltage increases the width of depletion layer and decrease of capacitance of layer.
