Two statements are given below:
\((\mathrm{A})\) When the forward bias voltage across a \(\mathrm{p\text{-}n}\) junction diode increases above a certain threshold voltage, the diode current increases significantly.
\((\mathrm{B})\) This current is called reverse saturation current.
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
1. Both Statements \((\mathrm{A})\) and \((\mathrm{B})\) are False.
2. Statement \((\mathrm{A})\) is True, but Statement \((\mathrm{B})\) is False.
3. Both Statements \((\mathrm{A})\) and \((\mathrm{B})\) are True.
4. Statement \((\mathrm{A})\) is False, but Statement \((\mathrm{B})\) is True.

In a \(\mathrm{p\text{-}n}\) junction diode, the change in temperature due to heating:

1. affects only reverse resistance.
2. affects only forward bias.
3. does not affect the resistance of the \(\mathrm{p\text{-}n}\) junction.
4. affects the overall \(\mathrm{V\text{-}I}\) characteristics of a \(\mathrm{p\text{-}n}\) junction.
