Given below are two statements: Statement I: Photovoltaic devices can convert optical radiation into electricity. Statement II: The Zener diode is designed to operate under reverse bias in the breakdown.
Statement I is incorrect but Statement II is correct.
Both Statement I and Statement II are correct.
Both Statement I and Statement II are incorrect.
Statement I is correct but Statement II is incorrect.
Statement I is correct because photovoltaic devices, such as solar cells, generate an electromotive force (emf) when illuminated by optical radiation, successfully converting light energy into electrical energy. Statement II is also correct because a Zener diode is a specially designed, heavily doped p-n junction diode intended to operate reliably in the reverse breakdown region, commonly serving as a voltage regulator.
