- 1A small reverse saturation current flows in the microampere range due to minority charge carriers.
- 2In reverse bias, the n-region is connected to the negative terminal and the p-region is connected to the positive terminal of the battery.✓
- 3The junction offers a very high resistance in reverse bias.
- 4Avalanche and Zener breakdowns occur under reverse-bias conditions.
Correct answer
In reverse bias, the n-region is connected to the negative terminal and the p-region is connected to the positive terminal of the battery.
