In a diode, the diffusion current is \( i_{i f f u s i o n} \) and drift current is \( i_{i d i f i t} \), then match the column.
\(\begin{array}{|l|l|} \hline \text{Column-I} & \text{Column-II} \\ \hline \text{(1) Diode with no biasing} & (p) \mathrm{i}_{\text {diffusion }}>>\mathrm{i}_{\text {drift }} \\ \text{(2) Diode in forward bias} & \text{(q) } \mathrm{i}_{\text {drift }}> >\mathrm{i}_{\text {diffusion }} \\ \text{(3) Diode in reverse bias without} & (r) \dot{\mathrm{I}}_{\mathrm{drift}} >\mathrm{i}_{\text {diffusion }} \\ \text{breakdown} & \\ \text{(4) Diode in reverse bias with} & (s) \dot{\mathrm{I}}_{\mathrm{drift}}=\mathrm{i}_{\text {diffusion }}\\ \text{breakdown} & \\ \hline \end{array}\)

Options:
  • A \( A \rightarrow s, B \rightarrow q, C \rightarrow r, D \rightarrow p \)
  • B \( A \rightarrow s, B \rightarrow p, C \rightarrow r, D \rightarrow q \)
  • C \( A \rightarrow s, B \rightarrow q, C \rightarrow p, D \rightarrow r \)
  • D \( A \rightarrow q, B \rightarrow p, C \rightarrow r, D \rightarrow s \)

The correct answer is: \( A \rightarrow s, B \rightarrow p, C \rightarrow r, D \rightarrow q \)

Diode with no biasing Idrift =idiffusion  

Diode in forward bias İdiffusion >> idrift

Diode in reverse bias without breakdown

İdrift > idiffusion

Diode in reverse bias with breakdown

idrift >> idiffusion
