Q. In an unbiased $p - n$ junction

Potential at $p$ is more than that at $n$

Potential at $p$ is less than that at $n$

Potential at $p$ is equal to that at $n$

Potential at $p$ is $+ v e$ and that at $n$ is $- v e$

Graph between potential and distance in a $p - n$ junction diode is given by

$∴$ potential at $p$ is less than that at $n$

Q. In an unbiased p−n junction

Potential at p is more than that at n

Potential at p is less than that at n

Potential at p is equal to that at n

Potential at p is +ve and that at n is −ve
