In a p-n junction, the thickness of the depletion region is `10^(-5)` m. What is the P.D. that should be applied across it, to produce an electric field of intensity `10^5` V /m ?

A

0.5 V

B

0.75 V

C

1 V

D

1.25 V

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
`E=-"dV"/"dx" therefore dV=Edx = 10^5xx10^(-5) `=1 V
