A reverse biased pn junction has resistance of the order of________________?
Correct answer: C. MO
- A. O
- B. kO
- C. MO
- D. None of the above
Explanation
A reverse-biased junction permits only a tiny leakage current, so its opposition to current is very high, typically of the order of megaohms. Forward bias, in contrast, gives a much lower resistance.
