(a) In the following diagram ‘S’ is a semiconductor. Would you increase or decrease the value of R to keep the reading of the ammeter A constant when S is heated ? Give reason for your answer.
(b) Draw the circuit diagram of a photodiode and explain its working. Draw its I -V characteristics.
(a) On heating, the semiconductor the value of resistance decreases, so as to keep current constant the value of R should be increased.
(b) Photodiode

A photodiode is operated under reverse bias
Photodiode accept light energy as input to generates an electric current.
IV- Characteristics of the photodiode
