During reverse bias, a small current develops known as(a) Forward current(b) Reverse current(c) Reverse saturation current(d) Active currentI had been asked this question in class test.This is a very interesting question from The P-N Junction as a Diode in section Semiconductor-Diode Characteristics of Electronic Devices & Circuits

Answer»

The correct choice is (C) Reverse SATURATION current

To explain: When the DIODE is reverse biased, a small current flows between the p-n junction which is of the order of the Pico AMPERE. This current is KNOWN as reverse saturation current.
