Which outcome occurs when insufficient forward bias is supplied to an LED?

A)Reduced light output or no light
B)Increased power consumption drastically
C)Catastrophic thermal runaway occurs rapidly
D)Reverse current significantly increases linearly

💡 Explanation

Reduced or no light output occurs because the carrier concentration provided may not surmount the built-in potential of the semi-conductor’s PN junction. Therefore there will little photon emissions, rather than the LED behaving like an active resistor and the exponential nature of a diode under forward Bias.
