If the temperature of a crystal diode increases, then leakage current ______________?
Correct answer: C. increases
- A. remains the same
- B. decreases
- C. increases
- D. becomes zero
Explanation
Reverse leakage current increases with temperature because thermally generated minority carriers become more numerous. It therefore does not remain constant or become zero as the diode heats up.
