Question

No bias is applied to a P-N junction, then the current (A) Is zero because the number of charge carriers flowing on both sides is same (B) Is zero because the charge carriers do not move (C) Is non-zero (D) None of these

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

In unbiased condition of P N -junction, depletion region is generated which stops the movement of charge carriers.

Q. No bias is applied to a $P - N$ junction, then the current

Is zero because the number of charge carriers flowing on both sides is same

Is zero because the charge carriers do not move

Is non-zero

None of these

In unbiased condition of $PN$ -junction, depletion region is generated which stops the movement of charge carriers.
