If the reverse bias in a junction diode is changed from \(5~\text V\) to \(15~\text V\) then the value of current changes from \(38~\mu \text{A}\) to \(88~\mu \text{A}.\) The resistance of the junction diode will be:
1. \(4\times10^{5}\) 
2. \(3\times10^{5}\)
3. \(2\times10^{5}\)
4. \(10^{6}\)

When a \(\mathrm{p\text-n}\) junction is forward biased, then:
1. the depletion region becomes thick.
2. the \(\mathrm{p}\text-\)side is at a higher potential than \(\mathrm{n\text-}\)side.
3. the current flowing is zero.
4. the effective resistance is of the order of \(10^6 ~\Omega\).
