In an unblased p-n junction, holes diffuse from the p - region to n- region because

A

(a) free electrons in the n - region attract them

B

(b) they move across the junction by the potential difference

C

(c ) hole concentration in p - region is more as compared to n -region

D

(d) All of the above

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C

Hole diffusion from p to n side can be viewed as " electron diffusion"from n to p side .
Diffusion occurs due to differnce regions .
An electrons (or hole ) diffuses where its concentration is less.
