Question
The diffusion current in a p-n junction is:

Answer

  1. From the p-side to the n-side
Explanation:
Holes from p-type diffuse into the n-type and electrons from n-type diffuse into the p-type due to concentration gradient to form a depletion region which results in the rise of diffusion current flowing from p to n side.
