MCQ
No bias is applied to a $P-N$ junction, then the current
- AIs zero because the number of charge carriers flowing on both sides is same
- ✓Is zero because the charge carriers do not move
- CIs non-zero
- DNone of these
✓
Answer
Correct option: B.
Is zero because the charge carriers do not move
b
(b)In unbiased condition of $PN$-junction, depletion region is generated which stops the movement of charge carriers.
(b)In unbiased condition of $PN$-junction, depletion region is generated which stops the movement of charge carriers.
