P-N Junction Diode
In the depletion layer of reverse biased p-n junction, the
Show answer and solution
Answer: (c)
- The depletion layer contains only immobile ions, which set up a strong field from n to p.
- Reverse bias adds to this field, so the field in the depletion layer is maximum (largest at the junction).
- So the answer is (c) electric field is maximum.
