Question

Given below are two statements : One is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as Reason (R).\ Assertion (A) : Photodiodes are used in forward bias usually for measuring the light intensity. \Reason (R) : For a $p-n$ junction diode, at applied voltage $V$ the current in the forward bias is more than the current in the reverse bias for $\left|V_{Z}ight|> \pm V \geq\left|V_{0}ight|$ where $V_{0}$ is the threshold voltage and $V_{Z}$ is the breakdown voltage.\ In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below.\

(b) : Assertion is false as photodiodes are used in reverse bias only so that the defect of photocurrent is much easier.\
