P-N Junction Diode

In an unbiased p-n junction, holes diffuse from the p-region to n-region because of

Show answer and solution

Answer: (b)

  1. Diffusion always occurs from higher to lower concentration.
  2. Holes are majority carriers in the p-region and minority in the n-region, so they diffuse from p to n.
  3. So the answer is (b) the higher hole concentration in p-region than in n-region.
