In an unbiased p-n junction electrons diffuse from n-region to p-region because :-

A

free electrons in the n-region attract them

B

they move across the junction by the potential difference

C

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

D

all of these

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C

In an unbiased pn junction, the diffusion of charge carriers across the junction takes place from higher concentration to lower concentration. Thus, option (c) is correct.
