| Assertion (A): | A diode under reverse-biased condition provides very small current which is nearly independent of voltage until a critical limit at which the current increases drastically. |
| Reason (R): | Below the critical voltage limit, only majority charge carries flow which increases drastically above critical voltage. |
| 1. | Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) is the correct explanation of (A). |
| 2. | Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A). |
| 3. | (A) is True but (R) is False. |
| 4. | (A) is False but (R) is True. |

| 1. | Widths of depletion region on either side of the interface are equal |
| 2. | The depletion region widths is more on \(\mathrm{p\text-}\)side compared to that in \(\mathrm{n\text-}\)side |
| 3. | The depletion region widths is more on \(\mathrm{n\text-}\)side compared to that in \(\mathrm{p\text-}\)side |
| 4. | No depletion region forms because of unequal doping concentrations on \(\mathrm{p}\) and \(\mathrm{n\text-}\)sides |
