Given below are two statements ; one is labelled as Assertion $A$ and the other is labelled as Reason $R$
Assertion A: Photodiodes are used in forward bias usually for measuring the light intensity
Reason R: For a p-n junction diode at applied voltage $V$ the current in the forward bias is more than the current in the reverse bias for $\left|V_2\right|>\pm V \geq\left|V_0\right|$ where $V_0$ is the threshold voltage and $V _2$ is the breakdown voltage

Concepts Used:
P-n Junction
A P-N junction is an interface or a boundary between two semiconductor material types, namely the p-type and the n-type, inside a semiconductor.
Biasing conditions for the p-n Junction Diode:
in p-n junction diode two operating regions are there:
- P-type
- N-type
There are three biasing conditions for p-n junction diode are as follows:
- Zero bias: When there is no external voltage applied to the p-n junction diode.
- Forward bias: P-type is connected to positive terminal of the voltage potential while n-type is connected to the negative terminal.
- Reverse bias: P-type is connected to negative terminal of the voltage potential while n-type is connected to the positive terminal.
