In an unbiased p-n junction,

A

p and n both are at same potential

B

high potential at n side and low potential at p-side

C

high potential at p side and low, potienial at n side

D

low potential at n side and zero potential at p side

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B

In an unbiased p-n junction, there is only the internal barrier potential, in which n side is at a higher potential and p side is at a lower potential.
