The leakage current in a pn junction is of the order of________________?
Correct answer: D. µA
- A. Aa
- B. mA
- C. kA
- D. µA
Explanation
Reverse leakage current in an ordinary pn junction is very small, typically in the microampere range. Milliampere and kiloampere values are associated with much larger forward or power currents.
