Answer:
Reverse saturation current in p-n junction diode will be just double in magnitude for every 10
o
C rise in temperature.
This is true because of the more energy gained by the minority carriers from what is called thermal voltage (Vt) by the heat energy dissipated at the junction
Higher heat=>> High voltage =>> More minority carriers =>> Higher reverse sat current
