What is the cause of charging ?

Assertion: When PN -junction is forward biased then motion of charge carriers at junction is due to diffusion. In reverse biasing. The cause of motion of charge is drifting. Reason: In the following circuit emitter is reverse biased and collector is forward biased.

The cause of quantization of electric charge is

Earth's lower atmosphere contains negative and positive ions that are produced by radioactive elements in the soil and cosmic rays from space. In a certain region, the atmospheric electric field strength is 120 V/m and the field is directed vertically down. This field causes singly charged positive ions, at a density of 640 cm^(-1) to drift downward and singly charged negative ions, at a density of 550 cm ""^(-3) . ? to drift upward (Fig. 26-20). The measured conductivity of the air in that region is 2.70 xx 10^(-14)W (Omega.m)^(-1) . Calculate (a) the magnitude of the current densily and (b) the ion drift speed, assumed to be the same for positive and negative ions.
