Q. In a p-n junction diode notconnected to any circuit

KCETKCET 2010Semiconductor Electronics: Materials Devices and Simple Circuits

Solution:

At junction a potential barrier/depletion layer is formed with $n$ -side at higher potential and p-side at lower potential. Therefore, there is an electric field at the junction directed from the $n$ -side to $p$ -side.
