Question

The given graph represents V - I characteristic for a semiconductor device.
Which of the following statement is correct?
       

Options

A.It is V - I characteristic for solar cell where point A represents open circuit voltage and point B short circuit current
B.It is for a solar cell and points A and B represent open circuit voltage and current, respectively
C.It is for a photodiode and points A and B represent open circuit voltage and current, respectively
D.It is for a LED and points A and B represents open circuit voltage and short circuit current respectively

Solution

Solar cell → Open circuit I = 0, potential V = emf
        → Short circuit I = I, potential V = 0
