(d) there is a constant electric field near the junction.
उत्तर
(b) holes and conduction electrons systematically go from the p-side to n-side and from the n-side to p-side, respectively
(c) there is no net charge transfer between the two sides
(d) there is a constant electric field near the junction
Because of the difference in the concentration of charge carriers in the p−n junction, holes from the p side move to the n side and electrons from the n side move to the pside. This motion of charge carriers gives rise to diffusion current.
Because of this, a negative space charge region is formed in the p region and a positive space region is formed in the n region. This sets up an electric field across the junction. Thus, there is a constant electric field near the junction.
This electric field further opposes the diffusion of majority charge carriers across the junction. As a result, an electron from the p region starts moving to the n region and a hole from the n region starts moving to the p region. This sets up drift current. Thus, there is a systematic flow of charge carriers across the junction. Also, there is no net charge transfer between the two sides.
