Given below are two statements: Statement   I : Photovoltaic devices can convert optical radiation into electricity. Statement   I I : Zener diode is designed to operate under reverse bias in breakdown region. In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:

Options

  1. AStatement I is incorrect but Statement I I is correct.
  2. BBoth Statement   I and Statement   I I is correct.
  3. CBoth Statement I and Statement I I is incorrect.
  4. DStatement I is correct but Statement I I is incorrect.

Correct answer

B. Both Statement   I and Statement   I I is correct.

Step-by-step solution

A photovoltaic (PV) cell, commonly called a solar cell, is a nonmechanical device that converts sunlight directly into electricity. A Zener Diode, also known as a breakdown diode, is a heavily doped semiconductor device that is designed to operate in the reverse direction. So both statements are correct.
