MCQ on Photodiode: Previous trends reveal that NEET/JEE aspirants find Physics as the most challenging section amongst the other sections. But most of them fail to decipher the reason behind this. This particularly can be as the candidates taking up this examination are predominantly medical aspirants with their subject of interest being Biology. Also, sections like Physics are more on theories, laws, numerical as opposed to Biology which is more of fact-based, life sciences and comprising of substantial explanations.

In this post we are providing you MCQ on Photodiode, which will be beneficial for you in upcoming NEET, AIIMS, JEE, WBJEE, Medical and Engineering Exams.

b) Only when the photodiode is reverse biased the incident photons produce electron-hole pairs
c) Only if the diode is reverse biased light variations can be converted into current variations
d) When photons are incident on the diode, the fractional change in the reverse current is much greater than the fractional change in the forward current

Q9. What is the reason phototransistor produces more current than a photodiode?
a) A wider spectrum is accepted by the phototransistor than the photodiode
b) The current produced by photons is amplified by the hfe of the transistor
