Question
the reverse current of a photodiode increases as the incident light increases. select one: true false
Brief Explanations
A photodiode operates in reverse bias. When incident light (photons) strikes the photodiode, it generates electron - hole pairs in the depletion region. These charge carriers are swept by the electric field in reverse bias, leading to an increase in reverse current. As the intensity of incident light increases, more electron - hole pairs are generated, so the reverse current increases.
