A
Photodiode in reverse bias
💡 Explanation:
Photodiodes are semiconductor light sensors designed to operate in reverse bias. In reverse bias, the width of the depletion region increases, and the reverse saturation current varies linearly with the intensity of incident light, making it sensitive and fast for detection.
