Thermionic emission from a heated filament varies with its temperature T as:
Correct answer: C. T²
- A. T⁻¹
- B. T
- C. T²
- D. T³/²

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.
