Options:
A)

High reverse current

B)

Lower reverse current and Higher reverse voltage

C)

Higher reverse current and lower reverse break down voltage

D)

None of above

Solution:

Ans: (c)

The structure of Germanium crystals will be destroyed at higher temperature. However, Silicon crystals are not easily damaged by excess heat. Peak Inverse Voltage ratings of Silicon diodes are greater than Germanium diodes. Si is less expensive due to the greater abundance of element.
