Consider the following statements A and B and identify the correct answer:For a solar-cell, the I-V characteristics lies in the IV quadrant of the given graph.In a reverse biased pn junction diode, the current measured in (\mu A), is due to majority charge carriers.

Both A and B are correct.
Both A and B are incorrect.
A is correct but B is incorrect.
A is incorrect but B is correct.
To solve this problem, let's analyze each statement separately.Statement A:• A solar cell is a type of photovoltaic cell that converts light into electricity.• In the I-V characteristics of a solar cell, the current is generated by the cell itself, so it operates in the fourth quadrant (IV) of the I-V graph, where current is positive and voltage is negative.• Therefore, statement A is correct.Statement B:• In a reverse-biased pn junction diode, the current is primarily due to minority charge carriers, not majority charge carriers.• The reverse current is typically very small and is measured in microamperes (\mu A).• Therefore, statement B is incorrect.Conclusion:• Statement A is correct but statement B is incorrect.• This corresponds to Option 3.Thus, the correct answer is Option 3: A is correct but B is incorrect.
