If the temperature of the diode increases, the leakage current will:
Correct answer: A. Increases
- A. Increases
- B. Decreases
- C. Remains same
- D. None of them
Explanation
When the surrounding temperature rises, it causes significant increase in minority carrier creation and as a result it causes a corresponding increase in leakage current.

About Electronics
A p-n junction forms when p-type and n-type semiconductor regions meet, creating a depletion layer, barrier potential and rectifying action. The work covers forward and reverse bias, junction current, diode characteristics, and how a diode converts alternating current into pulsating direct current through half-wave and full-wave rectification.
