Two statements are given below:
$A$. When the forward bias voltage across a $p-n$ junction diode increases above a certain threshold voltage, the diode current increases significantly.
$B$. This current is called reverse saturation current.

$A$ diode is connected in parallel with a resistance $R$ as shown in the figure. The most probable current $(I)$ - voltage $(V)$ characteristic is:

What is a diode?

When a $P-N$ junction is in reverse bias,the current flowing through the junction is primarily due to:

In the figure shown, if the diode forward voltage drop is $0.2 \, V$, the voltage difference between $A$ and $B$ is (in $V$)

If a $p-n$ junction diode is forward biased, then:
