Question

If the two ends $P$ and $N$ of a $P-N$ diode junction are joined by a wire

• A. There will not be a steady current in the circuit
• B. There will be a steady current from N side to P side
• C. There will be a steady current from P side to N side
• D. There may not be a current depending upon the resistance of the connecting wire

Answer 1

Answer: (A)

Since there is no potential difference across $PN$ junction, hence no steady current will be there in the circuit.
