In a p-n junction with open ends,

A

there is no net charge transfer between the two sides

B

there is a constant electric field near the junction

C

the holes and conduction electrons systematically go from the p-side to n-side and from n-side to p-side respectively

D

there is no systematic motion of charge carriers.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A, B, D

In a p-n junction with open ends, the net cgarge transferred between the two sides is zero. A depletion between the two sides is zero. A depletion layer is created at the junction due to diffusing of majority carriers from one side to another and a constant electric field is set up across the junction.
