JEE Main 2026 Physics question

Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion A and the other is labelled as Reason R Assertion A: A diode under reverse-biased condition provides very small current which is nearly independent of voltage until a critical limit at which the current increases drastically. Reason R: Below the critical voltage limit, only majority charge carriers flow which increases drastically above critical voltage. Choose the correct answer from the options given below

• (A)Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A
• (B)Both A and R are true but R is NOT the correct explanation of A
• (C)A is true but R is falseCorrect
• (D)A is false but R is true
