As we have learned

Number of electrons or holes -

n_{e}= n_{lambda }= AT^{3/2}e^{-Eg /2KT}
 

- wherein

Eg = Energy gap

K = Boltzmann Constant

T = Temperature in kelvin

On increasing temperature,  the number of current carried increases

 

 Change in temprature , changes concentration of e-p pair and hence affects overall V-I

characteristics of PN junction 

 

 

 


Option 1)

does not affect resistance of p-n junction

This is incorrect

Option 2)

affects only forward resistance

This is incorrect

Option 3)

affects only reverse resistance

This is incorrect

Option 4)

affects the overall V - I characteristics of p-n junction

This is incorrect
