MCQ
Conventional flow of current will always be from:
  • $p$ type $\rightarrow n$ type
  • B
    $n$ type $\rightarrow p$ type
  • C
    $n$ Type $\rightarrow n$ type
  • D
    None of these

Answer

Correct option: A.
$p$ type $\rightarrow n$ type
The holes in the covalent bonds of $p-$type semiconductor. They appear to move towards $n-$type semiconductor. Because the electrons in the covalent bonds of $n-$type semiconductor $($not free electrons$)$ jump towards $p-$type semiconductor due to plenty of holes available in the covalent bonds at $p-$side.
Hence, conventional current flow from $p-$type to $n-$type.
