Consider the following statements A and B and identify the correct answer :
A. For a solar-cell, the I-V characteristics lies in the IV quadrant of the given graph.
B. In a reverse biased pn junction diode, the current measured in ($\mu$A), is due to majority charge carriers.
Answer: (C) A is correct but B is incorrect.
A: A solar cell supplies power, so its current flows opposite to the applied voltage. Its I-V curve lies in the fourth quadrant. A is correct.
B: The small reverse current (in $\mu$A) of a reverse-biased pn junction is due to minority carriers, not majority carriers. B is incorrect.
