Options:
  • A does not affect resistance of p-n junction
  • B affects only forward resistance
  • C affects only reverse resistance
  • D affects the overall V-I characteristics of p-n junction

The correct answer is: affects the overall V-I characteristics of p-n junction
Due to heating, the number of electron-hole pairs will increase, so overall resistance of diode will change. Due to which forward and reverse biasing both are changed. Hence, in a PN junction diode, change in temperature due to heating affects the overall V-I characteristics of PN junction
