MCQ
The diffusion current in a p-n junction is:
  • A
    From the n-side to the p-side
  • B
    From the p-side to the n-side
  • C
    From the n-side to the p-side if the junction is forward-biased and in the opposite direction if it is reverse-biased
  • D
    From the p-side to the n-side if the junction is forward-biased and in the opposite direction if it is reverse-biased

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.
