MCQ
The drift current in a $p-n$ junction is from the:
  • $N-$side to the $p-$side.
  • B
    $P-$side to the $n-$side.
  • C
    $N-$side to the $p-$side if the junction is forward$-$biased and in the opposite direction if it is reverse biased.
  • D
    $P-$side to the $n-$side if the junction is forward$-$biased and in the opposite direction if it is reverse$-$biased.

Answer

Correct option: A.
$N-$side to the $p-$side.
